The disposable mask area supposed to worn around the ears with the elastic ear loops and the nose pin can be compressed against the nose to form a tight fighting to minimize the direct exposure to the contaminant from the atmosphere. A surgical face mask is typically worn by surgeons or other healthcare workers and is tied around the back of the head or secured using earloops. This mask completely covers the face the nose and acts as a barrier between the wearer and the air they are breathing into. It is designed to stop the wearer from spreading germs.
Wearing a mask takes some getting used to, but it should never restrict your ability to breathe. Small gaps are normal and unavoidable, but the fewer there are and the smaller they are, the better.

They are worn by medical professionals, painters, builders and mining professionals, among others. There are multiple types available including standard 3 ply surgical face masks, US standard N95 masks. N95 respirators and surgical masks (face masks) are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer from airborne particles and from liquid contaminating the face. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also regulate N95 respirators mask.
Medical face masks like the 3M™ N95 Respirator are carefully designed and manufactured to ensure that they provide optimal protection and help to prevent the spread of disease. How effective your face mask is will depend on the material that it constructed from. Some medical face shields are designed to reduce the spread of germs from the wearer only. They do not filter out harmful particulates but instead trap infected air from spreading past the material of the mask. The N95 mask both traps germs within the mask and filters out germs in the air that the wearer is breathing. It is also capable of filtering out dust, smoke and other air pollutants.
