N95 were originally designed by 3M for the coal industry because of the particulates. OSHA has always stated that N95 are for environments with high particulates. They are not designed for viruses. The CDC is making this stuff up as it goes. Using a N95 masks for preventing the spread of viruses is like using a screw driver to take off a hex bolt.
Air contains 21% oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 0.04% Carbon dioxide. Human exhale has 16% oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 4.0% Carbon dioxide.
OSHA refers to the area in the mask as "dead space". Human exhale contains 84 percent non-breathable gases. How much exhale is trapped in the dead space of a face mask that is breathed back into the lungs and the effects of its physiologic burden? Itβs deleterious extent? Duration?
Much more than what is safe. Human exhale is part of the excretory system that rids the body of toxins and waste and vents it into the surrounding air where it dissipates and is neutralized. The jet streams of exhale caused by wearing a mask are at the edges of the mask. Two of these jet streams shoot exhale upwards directly toward the eyes. Our noses are designed pointing downward and away from the eyes.
