Does this filter out covid? Otherwise it's useless! null

I encountered continual air leakage from the upper part of the mask, which would indicate that the mask is not filtering out Covid at all. The material is good quality and would provide better protection than standard face masks if this weren't a problem.

This is an N95 and they are supposed to be the best! According to FDA, masks are supposed to be a SOURCE control: "N95 respirators and surgical masks are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer from particles or from liquid contaminating the face. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) also regulates N95 respirators - - - Face masks may or may not meet any fluid barrier or filtration efficiency levels; therefore, they are not a substitute for N95 respirators or other Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFRs), which provide respiratory protection to the wearer."

Seems to, see my review for examples.

Yes it’s a kn95 so it’s a great filter to protect against Covid

It claims to be KN95. Works for me so far.

AirPop Light SE filters at least 97% of airborne particles and can prevent the wearer from spreading aerosols and droplets that can carry infectious organisms, such as the virus that causes COVID-19.

It would be incorrect to say that any mask can protect you against Covid-19 / or viruses as wearing a mask is only one of the appropriate controls to be implemented, including social distancing, good hand hygiene and adequate ventilation. All AirPop masks use a unique combination of professional-grade electrostatically charged filter medium and non-woven materials, un-rivaled in a civilian mask and have been subjected to rigorous 3rd party testing across the world including to USA ASTM F2100 Medical Mask performance standards. In these tests we achieved the following filtration efficiencies: ASTM F2299 / F2299M-03 Particle Filtration Efficiency 99.3% ASTM F2101-19 Bacterial Filtration Efficiency 99.9% This video does a great job of explaining why and how the filtration technology we use works effectively at “trapping” even virus-laden particles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAdanPfQdCA&vl=en Filtration efficiency alone is not enough to make a “good mask”. Fit is just as important, so we studied over 3000 different facial types from all over the world to define a unique ergonomic structure for our masks that follows the contours of the human face and adapts to maintain a good seal with the wearer’s movements and facial expressions. AirPop masks also provide unparalleled comfort and breathability. Our patented 3D shaped “Air-Dome” structure holds the mask away from the wearer’s face, creating a pocket of cooler air that allows and the effective evaporation of exhaled moisture. Active Rating Our Light SE mask, Original and Active mask help reduce fogging from glasses. The difference however is that our Light SE mask has a cushioned TPU nose seal, and our Original and Active masks have 360-degree sealing (so both on the nose and on the chin). So with those masks, when properly fitted, can help reduce fogging.
