Where to throw disposable masks and how to use them correctly
We all know how to protect against viruses and bacteria. A disposable three-layer mask on a rubber band is sold in every pharmacy and faithfully serves us in this case. But what to do with it after use?
Mask disposable three-layer on the rubber band Some people treat the disposal of masks irresponsible. Perhaps not everyone understands what their rash actions can lead to.
Contact with used masks can have a bad effect on the well-being of a huge number of people, and the garbage cans overflowing with them will definitely not help reduce the quarantine period. In addition, such a large amount of waste can affect the environment. This applies not only to masks, but also to other personal protective equipment.
Disposable mask should be changed every two to three hours. Such a tool is not intended for long-term use.
The mask is much more effective if you use it in combination with other methods of prevention. These are the observance of the distance, hand washing, disinfection of objects of permanent use.
Frequent hand washing is especially important. This should be done even if you wear disposable gloves. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, and preferably all 40.
You can dispose of the mask in a special institution. Such services must have licenses to do so. Disposal points are being actively created in many countries.
Store masks until disposal should be in a strong plastic bag with a clasp. Before you put the mask in the bag, it must be treated with an antiseptic.
It is desirable to store such a package outside the living room. The balcony would be great!
Remember that we are all responsible to ourselves and others for the spread of the virus. Our sanity, calmness and awareness are the most important values right now. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
