FFP3 masks are categorized as disposal masks that will offer a level of protection from nuisance particles, gaseous compounds, and vapors in the air, all through the use of an integrated filtration technology used within this mask. These masks will be an effective solution to filtering out certain pollutants from the air and thus when the user wears a FFP3 mask it will potentially make it more challenging for the wearer to breathe through this mask for a long period of time. It is usually suggested that when wearing a FFP3 mask that the wear time of this mask does not exceed more than 60 minutes at a time without a break. However, just because a user shouldn’t wear this mask continually for more than 60 minutes does not mean that it is ineffective after each use. Typically, these masks will have a user life of about 3 months, depending on the conditions in the environment and the amount of use the masks gets from the wearer.
