0.1 to 0.3 micron
An N95 or similar mask will filter viruses (H1N1 included) But its not the micron filtration size that needs to be focused on, its the proper fit of the mask. Leaks from improper fit and deep breaths will severely limit the effectiveness of simple filter masks. The other consideration is behavior while masked. Wiping the eyes, picking your teeth under the mask, etc.
A sour smell from an N95 mask could be due to sweat and moisture buildup over time. It is important to clean and dry the mask thoroughly after each use to prevent odors and ensure proper function. If the smell persists, it may be time to replace the mask.

The respirator masks that are designated with the filter class of N95 means that the respirator filter will block at least 95% of small particles. The N refers to its properties related to oil resistance of the mask: N = Not Oil Resistant, R = Oil Resistant, P = Oil Proof
The pore size is the average 100 micrometers.
The best Japanese face mask for COVID protection is the N95 mask, which offers a high level of filtration and is recommended by healthcare professionals for maximum protection against the virus.
Seitz filters typically have a pore size ranging from 0.1 to 1 micron. The specific pore size will depend on the manufacturer and the intended application of the filter. It's important to select the appropriate pore size based on the particles you need to remove from the liquid.
The sides of the mask should dimple inwards when you inhale sharply. And bulge slightly when you exhale. That is for the N95 Respiraotor Masks we have here anyway.
If the 25 and 50um refer to the actual pore size, then the 50 would be larger pore size
N95 is a type of respirator mask that is recommended for healthcare workers when caring for patients with infectious diseases like H1N1 influenza. N95 masks can filter out 95% of airborne particles, including viruses, and are designed to provide a tight seal around the face to enhance protection.
Not if you are wearing it to protect you from viruses or other sub-microscopic pathogens or pollution/fumes. These N95 masks are more like respirators than a cloth or paper surgical mask. None of these should be reused when used for medical purposes, they should be thrown away after each use since they may harbor some of the filtered particles on the outside that could contaminate people or environments. They can not be washed for reuse, either, this will potentially deform or disintegrate the mask rendering it ineffective. N95 masks must also be medically fit to your face or they will not be effective. They are not recommended for children or those with beards or mustaches because that can allow gaps for particles to enter around the mask. See more in the related questions section.
Porosity 4 sintered glass typically has pore sizes ranging from 4 to 16 micrometers, with an average pore size of around 8 micrometers. The pore size distribution can vary depending on the specific manufacturing process and conditions used to produce the sintered glass material.
