Running with an air filter mask

I have used this mask for pollen with decent results (I think it's the same as Rupp uses):

It is pretty comfortable except in hot weather.

These are for particulates and I would be careful about running with polluting gases as they will get through and are toxic. Maybe the treadmill is the only alternative if that is the case.

I think the most dangerous particulates are the smallest ones, which very few masks seem to work on. I live in a big city and I worry about this a little bit too, but I'm not sure there's a good solution.

i bought a 3M mask which has been independently tested and found to filter out 95% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. but idk if that is small enough. seems pretty small though.

N95 masks will filter out most of what you're trying to avoid, however they are notoriously leaky. It would be better to wear a half-face respirator. If you want to stick with 3M, this would be what you're looking for

You would want to combine the facepiece with either a N95 or N/R/P100 filter.

cool, that's exactly what i've got actually. rugged comfort half facepiece with N95 filters.

As we all know, the world is at risk from disease. People are afraid to go out without masks

Even if they just don't go out. Then something went wrong. The market is facing a serious crisis.

There is a problem, how do we solve it?

Those who have stocked before or during this time will be the winners

Because the epidemic has been brought under control

When the day comes, the desire to indulge in buying is about to erupt.

Awesome news!

Thank you for what you do :)

I know that the people of China and Korea are used to air filter masks, but as a European I can say that it's difficult for me to breathe in it. That's why I run without a mask. But we had a strict quarantine for a couple of months, so I had to wear a mask and of course it's easier to breathe in such a mask than in a medical one. But I want to say that we love cleanliness and always disinfect the house and cars, using an air purifier and an ozone generator to kill germs and bacteria. But you should be careful when using the ozone generator. Here is an article about the safety rules when using it. https://www.damagecontrol-911.com/ozone-generators-in-the-car/

Yeah, when I lived in Korea, I often used a mask because the air there is very dirty.

We wear our masks for others, not for ourselves. How selfish of you. All of your covid is going to escape the mask and infect everyone. Why are you trying to kill my grandma?
