What is the danger

The particle/filter retention of the material (measured values: as low as 78%) and the total filtration capacity of the mask (measured mean values: as low as 80%) are insufficient. Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.
