Myth: N95 Masks Filter all the viruses and bacteria up to 95%.

Fact: While N95 filters out dust, dirt and bacteria up to the size of 0.3 micron, most viruses are smaller than 0.3 micron. In fact the size of Covid-19 virus is 0.125 micron; which is 42% smaller than an N95 filtration power.

Myth: All N95 Masks Kill viruses.

Fact: NO! N95 is not an antiviral protection, it is filtration. In fact it can hold viruses on its’ surfaces for up to 7 days.

Myth: If I wear an N95, I’m protected from all viruses.

Fact: NO! There are 2 ways of protection: filtration and antiviral protection. Filtration, does not filter all viruses and it doesn’t kill viruses. Antiviral protection, such as Livinguard technology can kill 99.99% of viruses on contact, clinically tested and proven by University of Arizona.

Myth: The black round thing on the mask is an N95 filter.

Fact: NO! N95 are the two white layers inside the mask. The black round plastic piece on the mask is a one-way valve to reduce the heat in the mask and regulate air

Myth: I can wear my conventional N95 mask all day without fearing the viruses.

Fact: NO! In fact WHO warns against wearing a conventional N95 mask more than 8 hours a day. 

Myth: Fine Guard masks are too expensive.

Fact: 1 Fine Guard re-usable anti-viral mask = 210 ordinary masks, which is $0.05 per day vs $2 per day. Choose wisely. 

Myths: 1 disposable mask will not ruin the environment.

Fact: Estimates suggest that more than 100,000 marine mammals and turtles and over a million sea birds are killed by marine plastic annually. Disposable masks don’t degrade and end up in oceans most of the time. Keep safe and keep our planet safe.
