The first time to wear a gauze mask
Hot 1 |
Recently I found the air in our neighborhood had been polluted so badly that it was unfit to be breathed in directly. When I sensed the dirtiness of the surrounding air I would instinctively cover my nose with my hand to reduce the particles of the airborne garbage and the mixture of harmful gases into my lungs through the nostrils. I couldn't help thinking it necessary to wear a gauze mask, which had never occurred to me before. This misty morning when I returned halfway on account of the flattened back tire of my bike I bought a black one. I clumsily wore it on the spot where it was sold. But my exhaled hot air was immediately sprayed on the lenses of my spectacles, which made me see nothing at all. So I had to remove my glasses at last.

- You are certainly better off wearing a gauze mask because the polluted air consists of a mixture or dust, vehicle emissions, and other harmful particles. However, the mask does not fully protect you because the finer particles would still pass through the mask and you inhale these harmful substances which would stick onto your lungs for a while. Prolonged inhaling of such substances could cause respiratory or other incurable diseases. The solution lies in controlling and regulating the emissions from industry and vehicles.
