Dust masks cannot be washed

Non-woven masks can not be cleaned

Dust masks should be worn as close to the face as possible, and they must be worn during dust exposure.

Not to say that wearing a dust mask will certainly not get sick, but only reduce the risk of illness

“At present, pneumoconiosis and silicosis are the most common cases among occupational diseases in our city.” Yesterday, the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau liaised with multiple departments to carry out “occupational hazards prevention and prevention” publicity activities in Chengdu East Railway Station. The disease control experts taught you both Occupational disease protection work, and proposed that ordinary gauze masks can not be used for dust, and special dust masks do not wash with water.

Factory employees who do not buy work injuries can report

According to Yang Guangchang, Director of Occupational Health Division of the Municipal Work Safety Supervision Bureau, occupational diseases represented by pneumoconiosis have a certain incubation period. Therefore, many patients with pneumoconiosis and silicosis have not shown their symptoms until now; many workers in the city are in the province. Many mines in or out of the province are also suffering from such occupational diseases.

Since there are a large number of factories in the city that operate household and leather shoes and leather, Yang Guangchang suggested that the employees of these factories should strengthen their awareness of protection. If they find that the protection measures in the factory area are not in place or the factory does not purchase “work injury insurance for employees, the employees can Supervision, disease control, social security and Other departments reported.

“At present, the mortality rate of occupational diseases is 90%.” Yang Guangchang suggested that practitioners engaged in high-dust and contact with toxic substances industries feel that they have physical abnormalities, or they may go to qualified hospitals when they are concerned about occupational diseases. More than 30 hospitals or institutions such as the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of West China, the Provincial and Municipal Disease Control Center, etc. have the qualifications for the identification of occupational diseases.

Dust mask but there is stress

City disease control experts reminded that correct use of dust masks is an important part of effective prevention of illness, but there are still many practitioners there are misunderstandings.

As early as 2000, the former State Economic and Trade Commission stated in plain language that gauze masks should not be used as dust masks. Gauze masks do not play a role in dust protection. Special dust masks should be marked with the manufacturer's logo, certification level, compliance standards, and product code. Common dust masks for the market, the filter material are meltblown non-woven materials, mostly polypropylene, is a superfine electrostatic fiber cloth, can capture dust. Dust is trapped by this material and is not easily detached due to cleaning, and water washing also destroys the ability to electrostatically absorb dust, so non-woven masks cannot be cleaned. Places with high concentration should be treated through engineering renovation to control dust, reduce the concentration to a permissible range, and then wear dust masks; dust masks should be worn as close as possible to the face, and must be worn during dust exposure.
