A N95 FFP2 Mask is Your #1 Strategy to Beat Omicron/COVID-19

by Nirvana Being on Jan 13 2022

It’s always been right in front of your face, and yet, like everything else, we’ve failed to follow the science. You guessed it right, it’s the infamous mask. Not any mask though, but a well fitted N95 FFP2 certified mask. Even if you are buying one, what is the FFP2 particle size it filters? Cause you can only beat science with science. So, lets discuss the science for a change. Have you ever wondered how many microns is the omicron virus/COVID-19 virus? The average COVID/omicron particle size is 0.12 microns. So, essentially we need a mask that creates a barrier for COVID/omicron micron size 0.12. Keep in mind that while the virus may mutate and we’ll see variants, the actual particle size will not change. Here is a Breakdown of What an N95 Mask is: N: This is a Respirator Rating Letter Class. It stands for “Non-Oil” meaning that if no oil-based particulates are present, then you can use the mask in the work environment. 95: Masks ending in a 95, have a 95 percent efficiency. 0.1 Microns: While traditional N95 masks only filter down to 0.3 microns with a >95% efficacy, due to COVID-19, a new class of masks has recently emerged using nanofiber media that has >95% filtration efficacy down to omicron particle size up to 0.1 microns. FFP2: FFP stands for “filtering face piece”. It is a European standard for mask efficiency - FFP2 masks filter > 94% of all aerosols, including airborne viruses such as covid-19. When a mask is labelled as FFP 1, FFP2, and FFP3, micron size that it can filter differs. So with a FFP3, micron size it can filter would be the smallest, followed by FFP2 particle size being bigger and the biggest particle size for FFP1. A study published in December by the Max Planck Institute, a German research organisation, found well-fitting FFP2 masks reduced the risk of infection with COVID-19 to 0.1%. In a recent updated guideline from the CDC, they have upped the standards for masks on filtration efficacy, comfort and fit. We can’t emphasize the fit enough and the need for masks in different sizes for adults and kids. Nanofiber filters also solve the problem or comfort as they come with the lowest inhalation and exhalation resistance. Nirvana Being has been at the forefront on mask science and introduced reusable/washable Airific & Nirvana N95 FFP2 community masks with nanofiber filters back in April, 2020. In a Country with the worst air pollution and communicable disease record on the planet, we felt strongly about delivering the highest filtration efficacy, to drive safety and well-being, for the larger community. Our masks are tested and certified in India, Europe and USA. So know we know how many microns is the omicron virus, we must select mask according to the FFP3 and FFP2 particle size filtration capacity. Remember, no one is safe until everybody is safe. Let’s please #followthescience.

Decoding Omicron

by Flying Saints Creative Agency on Dec 06 2021

In the last few weeks, India has seen a decline in the number of Covid-19 cases as the country and its citizens are striving to move to normalcy after the intense second wave. The two factors that have contributed to this decline are, first- a large population has already been exposed to the virus, and second- approximately 44% of Indian adults have been fully vaccinated while more than 82% have received the first dose at least. However, we have a new cause of concern at hand with another variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus, Omicron. This new variant of coronavirus and has been labelled as a Variant of Concern (VOC) by the WHO. The variant is also responsible for the rise in cases in Gauteng province of South Africa where 90% of the people infected with Covid-19 in the last couple of weeks have tested positive for Omicron. The reason that it has alarmed the whole world is because of the fact that it has risen so sharply to suggest that it is for more transmissible than the Delta variant. Last week, the variant was also detected in Hong Kong, Belgium, Israel, UK and other countries, leading to a ban in many countries on flights from African countries and Hong Kong. Once it has entered the body, Omicron uses human genetic material to multiply itself to infect other humans through a chain of transmission, thus making it more infectious. When a new variant can evade such previously acquired immunity, it largely increases the chances of transmissions. The initial studies suggest a large number of mutations of the variant in immunocompromised people, therefore making it imperative to priorities safety precautions for the elderly, children and people with underlying conditions. While there are a lot of questions and concerns on the severity of the impact of this new variant, it is very early to give definite answers, as data is still being collected from different countries to assess the infectivity and virulence, and laboratory studies are being conducted to evaluate the ability of the variant to evade the immunity gained from vaccination or natural infection. The President of Public Health Foundation of India, an epidemiologist has suggested the new mantra to now be MVVT which includes Masks, Ventilation, Vaccines and Testing. Masks have been recognised to effectivity protect against the transmission of Covid-19, while ventilation helps in mitigating the risks of the super-spreader effect. Vaccinations are important to develop immunity against the virus, even if it is only to reduce the severity. We need to exhibit discipline in our efforts to curb the transmission in a sustained manner for a considerable period of time to see actual results. Nirvana Being, India’s leading clean air solutions business, offers an array of products that are essential for every individual in collectively reducing the chances of a third wave. These include certified N95 Masks with Nanofiber filters, tested by Nelson Labs, USA, for having >99% filtration efficacy for a particle size of 0.1 micron, the size of a COVID particle. While the virus may mutate, the good news is that the size of the virus particle does not change. In these testing times, prepare for the worst and hope for the best, because we already know that - No One is Safe until Everyone is Safe!
