Key ideas in Clean Air After a Disaster
- N95 or P100 rated respirators capture microscopic toxic particles and ash
- Basic single-strap paper dust masks only stop visible dust and let toxic micro-particulates pass directly through
- Disaster fallout contains microscopic toxins that require certified dense particle filters
- Water clogs fabric weave and dramatically raises breathing resistance
- High resistance forces unfiltered, contaminated air to rush in around the loose edges of the bandana
- Woven cloth lacks the microscopic fiber density required to capture toxic smoke and fallout
- Facial hair pushes the respirator rim away from the skin, creating easy bypass channels for contaminated air
- Air naturally follows the path of least resistance through perimeter gaps around the nose or cheeks instead of through the filter material
- A certified filter is useless if the perimeter seal against the face is broken
- Establish an isolated entry airlock or transition space before entering living quarters
- Gross decontamination involves wiping down hair, skin, and outer gear before taking off protective wear
- Shedding contaminated outer garments in the transition space prevents outdoor toxic soot from poisoning the indoor air
- Spreading airflow across four filters dramatically increases surface area, allowing the fan to pull massive air volume without burning out its motor
- A single filter taped flat drastically chokes fan airflow and quickly clogs when clearing heavy post-disaster particulate
- MERV-13 rating is the sweet spot for capturing fine disaster smoke and particulate while still permitting air passage
- Air follows the path of least resistance like water, readily funneling through unfiltered gaps instead of dense filter media
