Making Use of a Dust Mask Rated FFP2 With a Valve
A dust mask or mask labelled as FFP2 that has been fitted with a valve provides ease of breathing and reduces the amount of resistance. This is due to the valve opening as the wearer exhales. This ensures that the moisture from the exhaled breath dissipates quickly and effectively, making the mask more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The valve does close after exhaling to ensure that the wearer is protected against harmful particles once they inhale.
