Why Do You Need an Anti-Pollution Mask?

Greenpeace Indonesia conducted an investigation of Jakarta’s air quality from January to June of 2018, and it shows that Jakarta has high-level exposure of the carcinogenic pollutant called PM2.5 and the number of this pollutant is three times higher than the WHO recommended. This shows that Jakarta’s air quality is considered to be unhealthy and hazardous to its residents.

This worrying level of air pollution is especially dangerous for children, pregnant women and the elderly as through the polluted air, they can contact major health diseases such as stroke, heart failure and respiratory diseases. Thus, Greenpeace Indonesia are advising Jakarta residence to use a surgical mask such as the N95 to protect themselves against emissions of PM2.5.

The usual N95 Mask is not enough

What is the difference between a surgical mask such as the N95 than a regular disposable face mask? An N95 masks has a technology that can absorb if not all, most of the PM2.5 particulate that is in the polluted air therefore, making it the air safe and breathable for Jakarta’s residents. There are three types of N95 masks; the regular masks, mask with activated charcoal and RespoKare Anti-Pollution masks.

                                  

All three masks have the technology to filtrate PM2.5 particulate from the polluted air however not all of them are able to neutralize all of the harmful gasses. For instance, the regular N95 masks can only filtrate the PM2.5 particles while the N95 with activated charcoal are able to absorb some of the Nitrogen Oxides in the air. But, for the RespoKare Anti-Pollution mask, they are not only able to filtrate the PM2.5 particles but also to fully neutralized Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Oxide and other toxic oxidizing gas in the air. On top of that, they also have a “Pollution Indicator” technology in each mask that enables it to identify the level of Nitrogen Oxide and other toxic gasses in the polluted air.   

    

That being said, it is clear that the citizens of Jakarta should regulate the use of RespoKare Anti-Pollution mask to protect them and those they love from harmful gasses in the air.
