Anti-mite masks lack of children's standards for new regulations is regrettable

The national standard for "Protective masks for daily protection" will be formally implemented on November 1. This is the country's first national standard for protective masks, but the standard explicitly states that "does not apply to children's masks." The reporter's investigation found that children's masks have a large share in the market, and the prices of many brands vary, but there are no production standards, and most of them are miniature versions of population masks.

Experts involved in the drafting of standards revealed that the standard for children's masks has not been included in the new regulations. The main reason is that children's physical differences are relatively large and data collection is difficult. The next step will be to consider and formulate them. (Beijing Youth Daily, October 20)

Due to the lack of uniform standards and the fact that the quality of the “halk-proof masks” is uneven, the “Protective Masks for Daily Protective Masks” clearly defines the protective effect of fine particles (PM2.5) and the safety performance of wearing them. It helps to change the chaotic phenomenon of non-standard and non-standard inspection of China's civil respirator market, and it also provides an authoritative guide for the purchase of anti-mite masks for people living in the “ten-sided” environment.

Unfortunately, the "Protective Masks for Everyday Protective Mask" does not apply to children's masks. What is the reason? It is not because the national standard for children's snorkel masks has been specifically formulated, but as experts say, "Children's physical differences are relatively large and data collection is difficult. The next step will be to consider the formulation."

It must be said that such a candid attitude is worthy of recognition. This is more responsible than fooling children with the introduction of a shoddy national standard. However, the "next step" without a clear timetable also means that the introduction of children's anti-masking masks has not been implemented. The accuracy - after a few days, adults will be able to purchase anti-mite masks that meet the national standards, while children will only be able to continue to use the reduced version of the population cover. The key is how long this condition will last, no one Make it clear.

This is quite similar to the actual situation of children's medication. Not long ago, the media reported that “only over 60 kinds of more than 3,500 kinds of existing medicines are exclusively for children, accounting for 1.7% of the total; at least more than 50% of medicines are not marked with children's usage and dosage when used in pediatrics” Therefore, the use of drugs by children is basically “by handcuffs and with a knife”, which makes it difficult to guarantee the safety of medication. However, compared to the fact that “90% of the drugs in the domestic market have no children's dosage forms”, why shouldn’t children think of a popular network nowadays because children’s anti-mite masks do not have a dedicated model because of the standard blank? Words: blue lean mushrooms (uncomfortable to cry).

The data shows that as a result of pediatric “less medicine and less medicine”, the number of children from 5 to 14 years old who die from preventable and treatable diseases in China may reach as many as 100,000. It should be said that the lessons for children to take adult medicines are painful. After the first adult child, or the thick adult child, the group of children who should have been given priority protection was deliberately or unintentionally left out. It is like writing on the wall and hanging on the mouth, but it cannot be fully implemented in action.

Back to the flood prevention masks, the impact of haze on children is more serious than that of adults. This is an accepted opinion among the media. Therefore, when smog becomes a normal state, since adult standards have already “stepped ahead” and children’s standards have been left in the “next step” as a legacy problem, the greatest sincerity and speed should be adopted for all children in the world. Introduced children's mask standard.
