N95 vs P95 vs R95p  Which air Masks You Should Choose

Masks as the name suggests are masks that cover your nose and mouth. The masks filter out pollutants when you breathe through them. Thus, ensuring that you are breathing clean and purified air. Most air pollution masks are made of different layers. Each layer is designed for stopping a different pollutant. The three main filters are:

  • Primary filter – It’s the outer-layer. Its work is to stop all the large particles such as dust and pollen. While it can stop PM10 particulate matter, it cannot remove PM2.5.
  • Particle filter – The second layer is the particle filter. It’s there to stop the smaller pollutants such as PM2.5.
  • Carbon filter – Some high-end pollution masks also contain an activated carbon filter that filters out the gaseous pollutants that cannot be trapped by either primary or particle filter.

“PM10 and PM2.5 refer to particulate matters that are 10 micrometers and 2.5 micrometers in size. Since these particulates are so small, they stay in the air for a long time And can easily pass through our nasal cavity and accumulate in our lungs causing breathing problems, asthma, and even prolonged heart and lung diseases.

•An N95 mask or N95 respirator is a particulate-filtering facepiece respirator meaning that it filters at least 95% of airborne PARTICALS This standard does not require that the respirator be resistant to oil; another standard, P95, adds that requirement. The N95 type is the most common particulate-filtering facepiece respirator. It is an example of a mechanical filter respirator, which provides protection against particulates but not against gases or vapours.

•N99and N100 masks

These are premium masks and can filter particles like PM2.5 with 99% and 99.97% efficiency. They are great for people living in highly POLLUTED CITIES --- BEIJING,MACAO, NEW YORK. If you cannot find these masks, buy at least the N95 mask. Also, like N95, these masks are not good against oil-based pollutants, so keep that in mind.


  • P95 Masks

If you want total protection, you should buy the P95 masks. The major difference between the P-series and N-series masks is that the former can stop the oil-based pollutants while the latter cannot. However, this also means that P95 masks are costly, not readily available, and require replacement after just 40 hours of use. That’s why these masks are meant for industrial usage and are not recommended for everyday use.

  • R95 Masks

The R-series of masks are somewhere between the N-series and P-series. Unlike N-series masks, they are oil resistant but they are not oil proof like the P-series. So R95 can stop 95% of particulate matter and some oil-based pollutants.

INDIAN MUSIC

Indian music:-- Music notes - Raga  ,  also spelled rag or ragam , in the classical music of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. It is a melodic framework for improvisation and composition. A raga is based on a scale with a given set of notes, a typical order in which they appear in melodies, and characteristic musical motifs. The basic components of a raga can be written down in the form of a scale. By using only these notes, by emphasizing certain degrees of the scale, and by going from note to note in ways characteristic to the raga, the performer sets out to create a mood or atmosphere. There are several hundred ragas in present use, and thousands are possible in theory. • Characteristics of Ragas The Raga is the most important concept that any student of Indian music should understand.   A rag may be thought of as an acoustic method of colouring the mind of th...

Later, innumerable examples of the Buddhist sculptures, the tantric images of dancing Yoginis, the Nataraja, and other celestial musicians and dancers of early Shaivite temples bear testimony to a continuing tradition of dance from the 2nd century B.C.E to the 10th century C.E. These influences found synthesis in an unique philosophy - the dharma or faith of Jagannath. With Hinduism taking roots in O...
