根因分析

湿布会迅速被细灰颗粒堵塞，形成不透气屏障，导致呼吸困难并可能窒息。干燥的颗粒过滤口罩（N95或P100）才有效。

English

A wet cloth quickly becomes clogged with fine ash particles, creating an impermeable barrier that makes breathing difficult and can lead to suffocation. Dry, particulate-filtering masks (N95 or P100) are effective.

解决方案

  1. Wear a properly fitted N95 or P100 respirator mask. If unavailable, stay indoors with windows and doors sealed, and use a HEPA air purifier. Do not use air conditioning that draws outside air.
  2. If caught outside without a mask, create a dry, multi-layer cloth covering (e.g., a scarf or shirt) over the mouth and nose, but replace it frequently as it clogs. Seek indoor shelter immediately.

无效尝试

常见但无效的做法:

  1. 75% 失败

    Assuming that dampening a cloth improves filtration; it actually reduces porosity and increases breathing resistance.

  2. 50% 失败

    Believing that any cloth is better than nothing; a dry, loosely woven cloth also allows fine ash to pass through.
