Hi. given the shortage of n95 masks, can reusable respirators like 3m 6200 be used during an epidemic? how should long lasting (40 hrs) cartridge filters be stored after short (1 hr) trips outside? should facepiece be washed after every trip? thnx!

N95 is not in short supply now..still it is more expensive than other masks..and it is often not needed for routine use in public. regarding filter storage---it depends on the material --you may want to check 3M website for specifics--some even have instructions for sterilizing and reuse etc.. The face piece and be easily wiped off with sanitizer wipes and allow to dry out etc.. Good luck
