Do your Research Before Buying a PM 2.5 Pollution Mask




With development comes pollution, and though we love the benefits of a driven and vibrant economy no one likes the side effects a major example of which is air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter, tiny little pieces of material, below 2.5 microns across which is danger size for your lungs.   Particulate matter above 2.5 microns in diameter is still dangerous, but less so according to scientists.  These particles are so small that thousands of them will hide in this full stop.

 Particles this small will travel deep into your lungs because the body has no defence against particles this tiny.  One of your best options is the stay indoors, although even indoor levels may be high if the levels outside are high.  If you smoke cigarettes or use candles or cook with oil, then these activities will contribute to this PM 2.5 pollution.  The particulate matter is about 30 times thinner than a human hair and mostly originates from car exhaust in a city environment.


Bangkok, the thriving capital of Thailand has been in the news for this reason recently, and Thai people are becoming a lot more serious about their health in terms of pollution in the air they breathe.  Thre is a clear solution, of course, something I have personally avoided as it seems like a cultural copout as I point out here.  LINK   This easy and obvious solution is a breathing mask.

 However, as you may already know, there are difficulties associated with wearing these masks especially in terms of this PM 2.5 size designation.  Firstly, for those of you who remember the Swine Flu and Bird Flu scares or recent years, it became common knowledge that the masks commonly sold on every street corner had no effect whatsoever in dealing with threats as small as a virus.  In fact, wearing a poorly rated mask for pathogen dangers can inherently increase your risk, as the mask material weaving is likely to prevent viruses escaping and therefore increase your probability of becoming ill


Smoke is PM 2.5 or lower, as are most dangerous fumes.  Dust is generally higher than PM 2.5.  A quick bout of research will show you that most pollution masks on the market today are rated at Pm 3.0 or above so it is very important that you do some research before spending your money.  The links here will take you to masks rated for PM 2.5 and below.


Don't risk your health or that of your family by investing in the wrong pollution masks.  Do your research in order to ensure that you have the correct protection to entrust your health to manufacturers who really care about your future.

Tom Hardy's Career So Far

Having already appeared in Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down 2001, he came to prominence in Star Trek Nemesis 2002, which was the end of the Next Generation period of the show.   He played a clone of Picard and is young enough to be almost unrecognisable in that role.  Youthful of countenance but already showing that he could punch his weight with the big boys.  BUY TOM HARDY MOVIES He continued to work through the early 2000's with stand-out performances in Bronson 2008 (utterly compelling, must see) and Layer Cake 2004.  While not yet taking Hollywood by the vitals, he was building his portfolio of work with A-List stars and directors. It was Inception 2011 that made his breakout role.  It garnered 8 Academy Awards and is one of the top 25 highest grossing movies of all time.  This film pushed him clearly into the A-List and has made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today.   L...

Tarantino's Faltering Career

initial success One cannot argue that when Quentin Tarantino first entered the Hollywood arena with Reservoir Dogs, that generation of movie-goers were mesmerised by his brash new style, funky dialogue and irreverence for many established tropes.   After Reservoir Dogs, and with screenwriting credits to other top movies such as True Romance and Natural Born Killers, as well as later From Dusk Til Dawn, he released Pulp Fiction which many rightly regard as his greatest work.  credits fixation Jackie Brown was not written by him which is important bearing in mind his love for elaborate and silly initial credits.   A movie fapped over by Quentin Tarantino would be more than enough one imagines.  Yet it is the strong performances that really rescue this film.  It is worth a watch along with all of his earlier work.  It can be argued that Kill Bill 1 is his best movie, surpassing even the great Pulp Fiction.

You're not Ninjas

You're Not Ninjas Apparently Discord employ ninjas. So do iTunes, on PC at least. Whatsapp prefer Ronin, but the motif holds. Facebook has pirates which is perfect as we know what pirates did wrong and why they died out. I just updated my profile on Linkedin, and rather than getting profile moderators to check it, can you guess? Yeah.  Wow. Apparently it's a thing now. Before you start whining about plurals in Japanese, I don't care. If I don't pluralize it, I'll be attacked by Nazis, which is worse. You're not ninjas, you're software developers. You spend your days tapping away at plastic and staring at radiation, you don't spend your days stopping your heart to float across an ocean inside a dead platypus with a collapsible graphite katana secreted inside your penisgina so you can sneak in through the sewer outlet and coldly remove a threat to our kind. I may be splitting hairs, but there's a difference. Oh, I added a friend on Skype, well may...
