The N-95 mask is designed for a very close facial fit and the filtration of airborne particles because its edges are designed to seal around the nose and mouth. They are one of the most effective and sought-after masks by healthcare workers and others. This image shows a dusty and dirty N-95 mask laying in the #11 parking lot on the ASU campus near the Child Development Lab. This image is part of the mask trash series and Arizona State University item set.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
