This article says that ''N95 respirators were originally designed for'' ... but there is no authority for that. I think the original purpose of the masks is important and an authority for that is important. ] (]) 00:51, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Some details (Comparison)

<ref>https://physicianestate.com/kn95-vs-n95-masks/</ref>

These masks have similar superior properties as N95, but they go by different names based on where they are certified.
The WHO (World Health Organizations) considers N95 equivalent to KN95 and other similar masks. (WHO Article 1. WHO Article 2.)

I'm sure there is no wikipedia article on KN95

So worth a mention in this article? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 03:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Page move ==

{{Ping|HLHJ}} Your justification for the page move was "per talk" but I see nothing here or at ]. Which talk page were you refering to? ] (]) 04:41, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

:Sorry, ]. The merge template redirected to ]. Since no-one else participated, this basically consists of my explaining why I think it's a good idea. Now that someone else has taken an interest, I'd be glad to discuss it in more detail. ] (]) 04:48, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

::I should probably have merged this talk page too... will wait now, or as you see fit. ] (]) 04:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

::: I can see the logic in your argument but I think you should have given notice on all the relevent talk pages (especially after getting no responses at Talk:Mechanical filter respirator) and gotten an actual consensus rather than just a lack of objection before completing the merge. If I were you I would revert and post on the relevent talk pages but I'm not gonna bring the house crashing down on you if you don't. ] (]) 04:57, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

? view · edit Frequently asked questions Q1: I read a while ago that Peter Tsai invented the N95. I don't see Peter Tsai in the article. Did he invent the N95? A1: No. This fabrication was created due to sources conflating "N95 filter inventor" with "N95 inventor". References to definitive Federal Register sources in the article, as well as the publication NIOSH Guide to the Selection and Use of Particulate Respirators Certified Under 42 CFR 84 will settle this confusion: Peter Tsai is nowhere to be found in these definitive documents.
  • Also, for those claiming that Peter Tsai invented electret filter media, the references in this paper contradict those claims.
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the N95 respirator article.
