Should you wear a mask when use sodium hypochlorite spray gun?

The following is a detailed explanation of the necessity and precautions for wearing a mask when using a sodium hypochlorite spray gun:

1、 Three situations where wearing a mask is necessary
Any indoor environment
Sodium hypochlorite is atomized and dispersed, which can cause choking and irritation to the trachea when inhaled (similar to the smell of opening a bottle of bleach being amplified several times).
Even if windows are opened in small spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms, they must be worn throughout the entire process.
Spray high concentration solution
When disinfecting garbage bins and pet excrement areas, the concentration is often raised, and more chlorine gas is released, which ordinary masks may not be able to withstand.
Long term continuous homework
Spray for more than 10 minutes, and the accumulated concentration of fog may increase, which may cause coughing or chest tightness.

2、 Hard standards for mask selection
Basic protection: splash proof mask
Choose a cup-shaped hard shell design (similar to a spray paint job model) with an inner waterproof coating that can block liquid droplets.
Don't use cotton/gauze masks, they will get soaked and completely ineffective when sprayed.
Upgrade protection: Professional antivirus combination
In enclosed areas such as storage rooms and basements, use gas masks and filter boxes (marked with anti chlorine/acid mist).
Ordinary activated carbon masks are ineffective against chlorine gas, don't be fooled by merchants.

3、 Wearing the wrong method is equivalent to not wearing it
Leakage trap
The metal strip at the bridge of the nose must be tightly pressed against the face, and fogging of the glasses indicates air leakage and needs to be adjusted.
The lower edge of the mask should be tucked into the collar to prevent mist from seeping in through the chin.
Time Trap
The splash mask must be replaced if it encounters obvious moisture or has been used for more than 30 minutes.
If the filter box of the gas mask becomes damp or if you smell chlorine, evacuate immediately and replace it with a new one.

4、 The consequences of not wearing a mask
Short term response
Dry and itchy throat, continuous sneezing, eyes congested and watery (chlorine gas irritates mucous membranes).
long-term risk
Frequent exposure may damage respiratory defense ability, especially in individuals with asthma or allergies who are prone to triggering symptoms.
