Why Hospitals Need a Respiratory Protection Program(FFRs)
"Filtering Facepiece Respirators such as KN95 are designed to seal tightly to the face when the proper model and size is selected for the individual by using a t test procedure. The wearer can then be assured that inhaled air is forced through the filtering material, which allows contaminants to be captured and reduces exposure to both large droplets and small infectious particles."
