Reported risk: The product advertises a protective potential against particles but its filtering capacity has not been tested by a relevant competent European conformity assessment body. Additionally, it was found that the particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: up to 30%); thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.
