ASTM levels (1, 2, 3) classify face masks by their barrier protection, with Level 1 offering basic protection, Level 2 for moderate, and Level 3 for high fluid and filtration needs. The best ASTM level depends on your specific exposure risk—Level 1 is suitable for low-risk situations, while Level 3 is ideal for surgical or high-splash environments. For instance, the Medline NON24506A Cone-Style N95 provides Level 3 protection, perfect for high-risk areas, while the Precept 15201 is Level 1, great for routine care. The selection includes various ASTM levels, so you can choose the right mask for your environment.
