Hazard

The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: as low as 28%) and the total filtration capacity of the mask is insufficient (measured mean values: as low as 64%). Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.
