Face Mask: Flower Petal Edition

The Story

The beauty of spring is often understated, in my opinion. I look forward to the spring every year because not only does it bring with it warmer weather, but it also brings out all of the beautiful flowers that come in so many different beautiful colours. This particular tree is located in Charles Anderson Park in Edmonton, Alberta. I came across it while on a walk in the area and had to stop and capture it's beauty while also enjoying it's wonderful smell.

The Filters:

PM2.5 filters filter out particles that are as small as 2.5 microns. Virus particles are even smaller than 2.5 microns. However by including a filter in your mask, whether it is a PM2.5 filter or another filter, you are adding extra layers of protection to your cloth face covering. Each of the PM2.5 filters are made of 5 layers of cloth, including two layers of meltblown cloth and one layer of activated carbon cloth to provide excellent filtration. Typically used to prevent the inhalation of air pollution particulates, PM2.5 can help increase effectiveness of non-medical face coverings.

• PM2.5 filters are not equivalent to N95 masks. N95 masks capture 95% of airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns. PM2.5 filters capture particles matter larger than 2.5 microns.
• PM2.5 filters can be used continuously for 16-24 hours, or for 1-2 weeks when used occasionally.

• Sold in packages of 2.
