Bird flu masks - NIOSH N99
NIOSH certified N99 respirators/masks are designed to help provide respiratory
protection for the wearer. The N99 respirator/mask has a filter efficiency
level of 99.9% or greater against particulate aerosols free of oil when
tested against a 0.3 micron particle.
It is fluid resistant, disposable and may be worn in surgery. The "N" means
"Not resistant to oil". The "99" refers to a 99% filter efficiency. N99
respirator/mask with an exhalation valve may be used by the Health Care
Worker.
Patients, suspect or probable cases of bird flu should not wear an N99
mask with exhalation valve, as this valve could disseminate the virus into
the environment.
The World Health Organisation has recommended the NIOSH 95 disposable respirator
as being the minimum standard for those working within an infected environment.
However the more powerful filtering capability of the NIOSH N99 mask makes
it a better, if more costly option.
