Recently, many fans left messages in the background asking: "There are so many types of children's masks on the market, and there are so many styles. How can I choose the right children's mask? What should children pay attention to when wearing masks? ..."
Don't worry! Let’s learn about it with Junjun’s mother.
In 2020, my country released the recommended national standard "Technical Specifications for Children's Masks", which makes special regulations on materials, wearing, use and other indicators.
The "Technical Specifications for Children's Masks" proposes 19 main performance indicators, including safety, protection, comfort, etc., with safety as the main premise. The standard specifies two types of products: children's protective masks and children's hygienic masks. While clarifying that the particle filtration efficiency is not less than 95% and 90% respectively, it also puts forward higher requirements for the selection of raw materials for production companies.

In the current epidemic, how should children choose masks?
The key to children’s masks: safety, high filtration efficiency, and low ventilation resistance. On the market, there are several main types of masks for children under 6 years old:
Children's masks for 6-12 years old marked with the children's label [GB/T 38880-2020]: the size is too large, small babies need to be knotted for use, and there are fewer big brands;
According to the children's label production testing, set enterprise standards, the enterprise standard is better than GB/T 38880-2020 is more strict, and it is recommended for young children to choose, and they must choose a regular big brand, represented by green nose;
follow medical surgical masks [YY0469 2011】Standard-produced small-size masks have anti-epidemic effects, but the ventilation resistance threshold of adult standard masks is much higher than that of children, especially small children (the PA value of adult standards is higher). Long-term wearing may have an impact on children's cardiopulmonary development;
- It is not recommended that children wear N95 masks, because N95 masks will reduce breathing The amount of air will cause labored breathing, and the risk of children wearing it is greater;
- Other masks that do not meet the above epidemic prevention standards, even under the banner of various "n95 children's masks/medical children's masks", are not recommended;
- If the child has vomiting, drowsiness, respiratory distress, shortness of breath, etc., it is not recommended to wear any mask.

Children should pay attention to wearing masks! !
[The size must be appropriate] When purchasing a children's mask, you must choose a veneer that completely covers the mouth and nose and cannot cover the eyes. It is not suitable if it is too large or too small to prevent viruses from entering the mask. [Train the habit of wearing masks] Children need to be trained to wear masks. You can use dolls at home to learn to wear masks. [In conjunction with frequent hand washing] Children can easily get germs by rubbing their eyes and touching their mouth and nose. Parents should clean their children regularly with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. [Don’t go out without wearing a mask] Children refuse to wear masks, parents should not be soft-hearted and would rather not go out to reduce risks. [Clean before wearing a mask] Parents should clean and disinfect their hands before putting on a mask for their children.
