Facemask Filters Out “Everything But The Air”
“Other than a simple surgical facemask, there are really no non-powered masks on the market that have a replaceable filter,” says Steve Torbenson, company spokesman for the new RZ Mask that filters out “everything but the air”.
With a surgical mask, the filters are n95 rated, meaning they filter out at least 95 percent of particles from the air. The RZMask filters have a rating of n99, filtering at least 99 percent of airborne particles, including particles as small as smoke.
The mask was developed in Minnesota for use on all terrain vehicles, but many farmers and others are discovering how convenient and comfortable it is to use.
The neoprene mask is hand washable. “The replaceable carbon filter will filter out fumes and odors. We generally recommend changing it after 8 to 12 uses depending on conditions,” says Torbenson.
The mask and filters are for sale on the company’s website, in farm supply stores, and at various powersports shops around the country. The mask sells for $29.99 and replacement filters come in packs of three for $6.95.
