AntiPollution Masks – an overview

Special Re-washable Re-useable Anti-Pollution Antimicrobial FFP2 Masks

- An effective preventive measure against Pollution & Airborne diseases

Executive Summary• Revolutionary Antimicrobial Molecular BOnding – the products (including

masks) that utilize this technology kill all types of germs instantly upon contact.

• The specialty of the technology lies in the permanent antimicrobial coating that remains adhered to the mask even after 50 washes.

• The special cross-linked fabric has multi-filters inside to trap the minutest of particles.

• This mask is specially crafted to protect the user against air pollution and air borne diseases.

• According to W.H.O , 2.4 million people die every year around the world as a result of air pollution.

• Prevention is better than cure and Antipollution masks are a surefire method to protect from pollution.

The Problem

The World Health Organization states that 2.4 million people die each year from causes directly attributable to air pollution.

Worldwide more deaths per year are linked to air pollution than to automobile accidents.

Direct causes of air pollution related deaths include aggravated asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, lung and heart diseases, and respiratory allergies.

There is no safe and proven medication that is available that can prevent someone from being affected by air pollution.

Pollens in air can cause asthma and related respiratory disorders.

The Problem

Schematic drawing, causes and effects of air pollution: (1) greenhouse effect, (2) particulate contamination, (3) increased UV radiation, (4) acid rain, (5) increased ozone concentration, (6) increased levels of nitrogen oxides.

The Solution• Governments around the world have been constantly passing legislation to

combat the air pollution in terms of- stringent vehicle emission norms.- eradication of pollution chemicals- relocation of polluting industries/shutting them down- classiciation of environmentally sensitive products.

• However, with urbanisation and increasing affluence, the pollution levels in cities and towns are on the increase. The only credible solution to this problem is a personal respiratory protection device that can effectively filter and kill microbes, dust particulate matter and pollens.

• The answer lies in Antipollution mask - the only effective mask in the world specially designed to offer complete protection to the user from germs, pollens and dust particles.

Myth about N95 mask

• N95 is the standard recommended by National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health of USA.

• It is a mask used by construction workers, mine workers and others engaged in fume industries.

• These masks are good for 8 hour usage by which all the pores of the mask get blocked and the mask is rendered unusable as it becomes impossible to breath after that.

• These masks are NOT reusable or re-washable.

• They do NOT kill any microbes. The manufacturers never claim that they kill any germs.

• These masks have very poor value for money and are not suitable to fight against the Swine Flu.

The Right MaskSurgical masks : These are disposable use-and-throw masks made out of non-woven material and they are good for using for a few hours.

N95 masks: These masks are recommended overseas for filtering dust particles for entering person’s respiratory system. These masks are used by construction workers and those engaged in fumes and smoke environments. N95 refers to NIOSH i.e National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health which is an American institution that has set standards for materials recommended for workers. These masks are NOT medical and do not kill any germs except filtering the air. It has 5% of risk of letting the germs pass through.

Anti Pollution masks: These are Anti-Pollution masks that not only filters the particulate matter and pollens but also kills the microbes immediately. The special fabric and also the special manufacturing method in technical collaboration with Ashtral Inc of USA, makes the antimicrobial layer permanently embedded at molecular level to the mask. These mask are washable up to 50 times. The cross linked synthetic fabric is designed in such a way that it traps the pollutants and microbe and kills it. These masks are CE certified as FFP2 masks. This makes Anti Pollution Mask not only equal but far better than N95 in terms of reusability and killing of germs.

Technology• Revolutionary Antimicrobial Molecular Bonding is the most

unique technology developed by Ashtral Inc. of USA that permanently binds an invisible antimicrobial layer on cross-link synthetic fabric of masks.

• This coating instantly filters dust particles, pollens and germs and also kills all types of bacteria, viruses and fungi upon contact.

• These masks are CE certified as FFP2 masks..

• The masks are comfortable and have good filtration conforming EN 149:2001 of CE and also exceeding it in terms of particulate matter capture and product life.

• These masks are reusable and re-washable and the coating lasts for more than 50 washes. This is an unique feature against all the other masks that are disposable, use –and-throw.

• These masks work out to be more economical as they can be used for 1 year with weekly wash. Alternatively, it would take 365 disposable masks which, are not anti-pollution per se

Conclusion

• Anti Pollution Masks are the only ideal solution that exist today to save our population against air pollution and air borne diseases.

• These masks are most effective, comfortable and have value-for-money.

• They are also useful to prevent pollution and are ideal for Asthma patients, morning walkers, construction workers and most important preventive measure against all types of airborne epidemics and pandemics.
