Features of the 3M N95 mask Model 8210: Simplicity and Efficiency

This respirator mask stands out for its classic design without a valve, making it suitable for sterile environments. It includes elastic straps attached to the mask, an adjustable nose clip, and a foam cushion to improve sealing and comfort. Its pre-molded shape allows for a quick and stable facial fit.

Application of the N95 mask

This mask is designed for short-duration tasks in comfortable temperature conditions. It is ideal for workers involved in grinding, sanding, and other dusty operations. It is also effective against solid particles released during the processing of minerals, iron ore, coal, flour, or other substances. It protects against liquid particles from non-oil-based aerosols that do not emit harmful vapors. NIOSH-approved masks (N95, N100, R95, R100, P95, and P100) offer sufficient protection against silica, the second leading cause of chronic respiratory problems after asbestos.

Biological Particles

This respirator helps reduce inhalation exposure to certain airborne biological particles, such as mold, Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Koch’s bacillus, responsible for tuberculosis), and pandemic flu viruses (H5N1, H1N1), among others. It is the most widely used respiratory protection mask during pandemics. However, it cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection, illness, or disease. Combined with hygiene and protective measures, this respirator is an effective tool to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. Government agencies have not been able to determine exposure limits for certain biological contaminants due to their nature.

Installing the 8210 N95 respirator Mask: Instructions

To properly install the 3M Model 8210 mask, place it over the nose and mouth, then adjust the straps behind the head. Shape the nose clip to fit the nose and ensure a good seal. Check that the mask is properly fitted by gently inhaling and exhaling: it should press against the face without leaks.
