Children's masks without relevant standards need to be careful

On April 25, 2016, AQSIQ and the National Standardization Administration issued the national standard for "Protective masks for daily protective masks", but because of differences in children's physical characteristics, medical data and experiments on the effects of respiratory resistance on children's growth Accumulation of data has yet to be improved, so the standard does not make special provisions for children's masks, but it is clearly stated that this standard “does not apply to children’s masks”.

Stunned! The mask you choose for your child lacks national standards

Because the public has little knowledge of protective knowledge, most people stay on the basis of only knowing but not knowing how to choose, so everyone is blind when they choose protective equipment for their children. In fact, there are no national standards to regulate the children's anti-fog masks that are on the market. Perhaps the mask you choose can prevent PM2.5, but it may not be suitable for children.

In an interview with Wu Sheng (Shanghai) Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd. Wu, we learned that the child's lungs are not yet mature and the same breathing resistance is acceptable to adults, but the children may not be able to adapt because the children cannot fully express themselves. Because of their own feelings, many parents may ignore the impact of masks on their children's lungs.

caveat! 2 years old baby should not wear masks

Even if you have a mask of the right size, don't use it on babies under 2 years old. Wearing a mask is very dangerous for low-risk babies. Your baby's lungs are much weaker than adults. When you add a mask, the child is prone to suffocation and even life-threatening.

If your baby is within 2 years of age, this should be very careful. The smaller the more you should pay attention. Basically, the design of regular masks is designed for children over 3 years of age. Even if you find a mask of the right size and put your baby's face tightly, PM2.5 can't get in and the air can't get in.

Error correction! The size is not necessarily suitable for children to wear

For mask products such as the N95, the most important thing is not how powerful the mask itself is filtered, but the perfect fit to the face. If there is a gap between the mask and the face, the haze will still be able to enter the nasal cavity unimpededly and the mask will have no effect.

Since there are still no national standards, parents still have difficulties in purchasing a mask that truly suits their baby. The market is flooded with a lot of exaggerated propaganda, and the public’s fear of PM2.5 has also contributed to some mask businesses. Arrogance. As everyone knows, companies like 3M have not yet said that masks are suitable for children. They only say that they are suitable for people with small faces. Then, what are the reasons for those businesses who say that they are real children's masks?

We have seen some of these remarks on the Internet, focusing on some of the children's masks that are being sold on the market. I hope everyone will screen them carefully.

A brand is the product with the most "Chinese characteristics" and a trademark called PM2.5 is registered. Whether the mask can prevent PM2.5, he can call it.

There are some cotton masks without any degree of trust at all. For example, some masks have just started to deceive people and say that they are anti-fog and haze. Later, the users learned that they would put two small filters on the inside and continue to call their own defenses. smog. From any point of view, this model of coping with things has no way to effectively filter PM2.5 particles.

Many maternal and child products companies have introduced their own children's masks. These masks have good branding and are very cute in design. However, most of these masks do not have any instructions on preventing PM2.5 except Taobao's promotional maps. Such masks can only be used to prevent airborne bacteria, viruses, pollen and other pollutants, and can not effectively block PM2.5.

There are also anti-fog and smog masks that evolved from ordinary medical masks. Another problem with these products is that the seal is not good. Face masks and face often have large gaps. The air that children breathe is often only 20% to 30% is filtered. Passed. If you choose these masks for your child, please use them mainly in hospitals or public transportation venues instead of haze weather outdoors.

Postscript: No matter how big your baby is, the best choice for haze is not to go out. For 0-2 year-old babies, wearing masks is risky asphyxiation and try not to use them. For children who are still in development, do not blindly believe the magical effects of children's masks. It seems that the children's masks that can make the fire out of spectacle have completely left the altar. We can only hope that the state will issue relevant inspection standards earlier.
