Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The product which you have provided is basically an endurance mask and not antipollution mask.

These types of masks are basically used by athletes during their training to increase their stamina and performance while on low oxygen.

These masks limits the airflow inside the lungs and can make you feel suffocated.

You can simply use N95 masks to avoid dust and other air pollutant inhalation.

Kind Regards

Thank you for the response.

I'm looking for a one time solution, as I will have to keep purchasing N95 masks, which would eventually create garbage.

Is there any permanent option that could be as or nearly as effective as N95?

Would the endurance mask help me improve my lung strength? Will it filter out any pollutants?
