Does anyone know where sells #respirators in #Berlin?
I do a lot of stuff where an FFP2 disposable mask isn’t really good enough now, and want to be able to check the comfort and fit of a respirator before buying

@pantransautie Are reusable #respirators not an option for you? 🤔
They are vastly better-fitting and comfortable, create less waste, have way lower breathing resistance, and are cheaper in the long run...
I've written about my experience with an entry-level 3M 6200 reusable respirator, if it helps.

Wrote a blog post for all the people who don't know about reusable #respirators and ask me about the one I wear. Especially written with a focus on #India.

Can users of 3M 6502QL #respirators comment on its latch?
In some videos, it only seems to drop down just below the lower lip/near the chin.
In other videos, it seems to drop down below the chin/around the neck - which seems preferable, as you may be able to get a bite to eat without the risk of dirtying the mask...
And then there's the 3M 7500 series which has no latch, but seems to drop down all the way to the chest...
(cc @thatkatharine , who mentioned having one 🙂)

All of #NIOSH respiratory & PPE organization is reported to have been fired. There is apparently no one left to manage the program to certify N95, N99 & N100 #respirators
> Among the teams where "all employees" are expected to be impacted, ... the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, which is tasked with vetting and approving N95 respirators among other personal protective equipment

With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95.
They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more.
It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.
Protecting your long term health has never been more important. Mask up, make activism accessible and don’t leave anyone behind.

“If you’re seeing all the #AirFilters and #respirators being handed out for free in #LAfires, remember these resources are only available because #covid activists have remained steadfast in advocating for #CleanAir and mask use since 2020”

There's a reason I want an OmniMask.
~ it's so I can be the coolest doomer at school ~
But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)#mask #masks #respirator #MaskMeansRespirator #respirators #MaskBloc #PPE #accessibility #Accessible #LipReading #EaseOfAccess #Access #universal_free_internet_access #AccessToInformation #PublicAccess #Health #health2025 #Healthy #HealthyHabits
