n95 price Shortage of N95 Particulate Respirator Masks
|
|
|
Was at my favorite surgical supply house yesterday, and decided to pick up a few extra N95 NIOSH certified masks. There were absolutely NO masks on the shelf of ANY kind, and I found out there were none in stock, with a 3-4 week back order. Even the painter's dust masks . This in an area where SARS really isn't that much of a concern. They did have some reserved stock N95's in the back but would only release them if you were a business ( with proof ), or could provide a public safety ID. NO sales to individuals. I picked up two boxes to compliment the 5 boxes I already stocked, but if you haven't already stocked them in your kit, it's going to be difficult to find them for personal use.

I bought a pack of 2 just after the dust lesson of 9-11. I used one working on a dusty storage area and wanted a replacement. I was in Wal-Mart last night. They carry 3M N95 in the automotive department. Normal price $4.96 for a blister pack of 2 masks. As luck had it, they had packs with a third one free for the same price. There was at least a dozen packs on the rack. W§ in m.s http://members.1stconnect.com/anozira updated 03-22-03

to do so. Thus the N95 label on the mask. What you say is true, but even surgical masks provide a high reduction in exposure risk, although its not 100%. Yes. I was surprised to read on a Canadian web site that they said not to use surgical masks and to use N95. I would think that surgical masks would be as good, but apparently not. I was not surprised to see a CDC page saying to use surgical masks, but the NAEMT web site saying to use N95 (I wonder about the CDC)... http://www.naemt.org/Position/NAEMT_POSITION_STATEMENT-Severe_Acute_R... tory_Syndrome_(SARS)_Alert.pdf
