N95 without Valve is considered as safer Face Mask than 3 Ply Face Mask or Cloth Mask.

As N95 Face Mask is made from Mulitple Layers of Non-woven Fabric, so it filters out 95% of particles like pollutants and pollen. Due to its filtering efficiency of 95%, it has got its name N95.

N95 Mask falls in the category of (Filtering Face Piece) FFP Respirator. It filters out both inhaling and exhaling air. A Person wearing it is able to inhale Clean air and while exhaling also air gets filtered out keeping the virus/ bacteria mixed droplets trapped in mask. To some extent it may cause discomfort in breathing. For that a special valve is used in the mask which releases droplets and exhaling air without filtering it. It poses a threat to environment and other people if it is worn by a person suffering from Viral Infections like Corona.

N95 Mask with Valve filters the particles, virus or bacteria during inhaling. While exhaling, air mixed with droplets of body fluid containing bacteria or virus is also released in the environment without filtering it. So it poses a threat to environment and other people if it is worn by a person suffering from Viral Infections like Corona. That’s the reason Government & Healthcare Regulatory Bodies put a ban on N95 Mask with Valve during corona outbreak.
