Today another commentator tried to joke about masks. Like you need to put tights on your head on top. So I even said thank you to him. The eccentric turned out to be one hundred percent right.
Tights on top of a medical or textile mask are considered a good way to modernize masks.
We have already discussed with you that you can put a simple fabric mask on top of a medical mask with a second layer. So, a piece of nylon tights is seriously considered as the top layer. I am not kidding.
This combination of materials both filters more efficiently and improves the fit of the lower mask to the face.
This upgrade is said to be especially relevant for homemade homemade masks that don't always fit well.
And nothing funny. This mobilization of nylon stockings by the Americans during World War II for the needs of the army even went down in history. That nylon was used to make parachutes, aircraft fuel tanks, and other necessities.
This case was tested on medical masks. It turned out that without a stocking, a medical mask retains 75% of particles, and with a stocking - 90%. And this is in comparison with the N95 respirator, which is sharpened to contain 95% of particles. A very good result.
In short, you need to take larger tights and cut off a piece 20-25 centimeters high from your leg. This will be the top layer for the regular mask. Look at the picture.
The larger the tights, the easier it is to breathe through their pores.
When such a stocking is put on homemade masks, which have an efficiency of about 30%, then the efficiency increases by 15-50%.
Scientists say that this is a serious adaptation, tested by time and blood. Somewhere out there, they, the Americans, had a radiation leak in the early 80s of the last century. So there they just shoved any rag that turned up under a piece of tights, and such garbage quite successfully detained radioactive dust.
But I just used up all unnecessary tights to protect garden trees from rodents. Who has a larger size?
