Air quality is really dangerous currently in my region. I am having breathing problems and eye irritation. I found N95 masks on online stores. However, I am confused how effective they are as they are all costly but some are costlier than others. which of the specifications will help to combat air pollution? Thanks so much doctor!

N95 itself is a WHO approved quality of mask to screen or filter air pollutants entry into air ways of humans. Any brand is OK. this can be used for one week. Desirable to go for PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST for identifying early Lung changes.
