Children's masks are divided into two types according to their performance. Protective children's masks are mainly three-dimensional, suitable for medium-pollution or potentially medium-risk environments, such as stations, public transportation, supermarkets and other scenes during events such as haze and flu season. Hygienic children's masks are mainly flat and can be used in low-pollution or low-risk environments, such as restaurants, classrooms, dormitories and other scenes during daily cold and flu events. Compared with adult masks, the standard protective performance of children's masks is not lower than that of adult masks.
