- [image: Slide 1 of 5: Even with a newly developed coronavirus vaccine
currently rolling out and another likely on the way soon, health officials
are matching their optimism about the coming months with a reminder that
it's still very important to follow basic health guidelines such as social
distancing, washing your hands, and wearing a mask. But when it comes to
your PPE, there may be one major mistake you're making that could be
putting you at risk. According to a new study, wearing a used or worn-out
mask could actually be worse than wearing no mask at all in some cases.
Read on to make sure your face covering is protecting you, and for more on
staying safe in the pandemic, check out You're More Likely to Catch COVID
in This Surprising Place, Study Finds.The new research, published on Dec.
15 in the journal Physics of Fluids, comes from a team of scientists at
California Baptist University and University of Massachusetts Lowell, who
used a computer model to measure how masks affected the airflow and passage
of particles to and from the wearer. The model also showed where particles
landed on one's face, in the nasal passages, and how they are distributed
into the lungs and pharynx.The research determined that a new three-layer
surgical mask is 65 percent efficient in filtering particles, but if the
mask is worn out, that number drops to 25 percent. In fact, the researchers
found that a worn down mask led the wearer to inhale more particles than
those wearing no mask at all. Those particles that escape the filtration of
your mask can enter through your respiratory tract and instead infect you.
As a result, the researchers concluded that wearing a mask with less than
30 percent filtration efficiency can be worse than going out without a face
covering.It is natural to think that wearing a mask, no matter new or old,
should always be better than nothing, study author Jinxiang Xi, PhD,
associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at
University of Massachusetts Lowell, said in a statement. Our results show
that this belief is only true for particles larger than 5 micrometers, but
not for fine particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers.But there's more to
choosing the right masks than filtration prowess. Read on to see what to
avoid when it comes to PPE, and for more on how to prepare yourself for
your inoculation, check out The CDC Is Warning You to Prepare For These
COVID Vaccine Side Effects.Read the original article on Best Life.]
- [image: Slide 2 of 5: In what is perhaps the golden rule of face
coverings, mounting research points to the fact that your mask should have
at least three layers of fabric if it's going to protect you. In a recent
study conducted by researchers at Virginia Tech University, 11 different
types of face masks were tested, including nine cloth masks made from
materials such as coffee filters, a cotton T-shirt, and other fabrics, as
well as a face shield and surgical mask. The findings showed that masks
that had three layers clearly offered the most protection. And for another
ineffective face covering, check out This Type of Face Mask Isn't
Protecting You From COVID, WHO Warns.]
- [image: Slide 3 of 5: You wash your face. You wash your clothes. So
shouldn't you be washing the clothes you wear over your face? According to
a meta-analysis published in September in BMJ Open, the answer is yes:
research found that not washing cloth masks after use increases the risk of
coronavirus contamination. Try to avoid the temptation to wear the same
mask for days in a row and wash it after every use to make sure it's
actually doing its job. And for another face covering warning you need to
know about, check out The FDA Just Issued a Warning Against This Kind of
Face Mask.]
- [image: Slide 4 of 5: On Dec. 1, the World Health Organization (WHO)
updated its face mask recommendations, specifically calling out this form
for PPE. The global health agency asserted that the use of face shields is
inferior to face masks because shields fail to block the wearer's exhaled
droplets and are not able to stop them from inhaling another person's
aerosol droplets either. And for more regular updates on how to stay
