Wildfire smoke can be a real health hazard. Breathing in this smoke can cause health problems, like itchy eyes, coughing, chest pain, and even more severe issues. But don't worry; there's a solution - the Gerson N95 Mask. Health experts say N95 is the best bet citizens have to protect them from the adverse effects of wildfire smoke.

Why Wildfire Smoke Is a Health Hazard?

The 2023 wildfire season has begun, and severe wildfires in Canada have caused smoke to affect a large swath of the United States. Major cities like New York and Chicago have recently experienced some of the worst AQI readings, putting residents in danger. But how?

When a wildfire rages, it releases a smoky haze containing tiny particles called PM2.5 (inhalable). These tiny particles, measuring 2.5 microns or smaller, can easily enter our lungs, causing health problems.

When these particles enter our body, they cause symptoms like itchy eyes, coughing, chest pain, irritated sinuses, wheezing, and a fast heartbeat. Prolonged exposure to PM2.5 particles can increase the risk of asthma attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and premature death.

How Does Gerson N95 Mask Protect Against Wildfire Smokes?

As smoke from wildfires in Canada drifts over large parts of the United States, staying indoors is the best way to avoid breathing in pollutants. Of course, for many people, this is impossible. To protect yourself from disease, wear a Gerson N95 mask outside. They are specifically designed to filter air and provide bacteria and infection-free air. Here's why:

1.Takes out 95% of Particles

When worn correctly, the N95 mask can filter out 95% of particles larger than 0.3 microns. This means it's incredibly effective at keeping out those tiny PM2.5 particles in wildfire smoke.

2.Reduced Airborne Virus Exposure

Wildfire smoke can carry particulate matter and harmful pathogens, including viruses. The Gerson N95 Mask is a strong defense against smoke particles and potentially airborne viruses.

3.FDA Cleared

The Gerson N95 Mask has undergone rigorous FDA testing and approval. This high filtration efficiency protects your respiratory health, effectively blocking the harmful PM2.5 particles in wildfire smoke.

4.Contoured Adjustable Nose Clip

It also has a precisely contoured, customizable nose clip that minimizes air leakage and prevents eyewear fogging for clear and comfortable breathing.

5.Lasts Longer

Two layers of material are tightly bonded together to form the double-shell construction. It is less likely to collapse or deform while being worn. That's why the mask's lifespan is longer than other masks.

Conclusion

In the face of wildfire smoke, your health should always come first. The Gerson N95 Mask is your best ally in the battle against smoke and its harmful PM2.5 particles. So, when the skies turn smoky and the air is filled with particles that could harm your health, reach for the Gerson N95 Mask.
