Why use non re breathable mask?

Non-rebreathable masks, such as surgical masks and N95 respirators, are designed to prevent the inhalation of airborne particles and pathogens, providing a higher level of protection compared to cloth masks. They effectively filter out bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of transmission in healthcare settings and crowded environments. Additionally, these masks help to contain respiratory droplets, protecting others from potential infection. Their use is particularly important during outbreaks or in situations where exposure risk is elevated.
