New Delhi : With air pollution soaring to hazardous levels across major Indian
cities, KARAM Safety, a leading global PPE player and fall protection solutions
provider, has issued an urgent call for the public to adopt certified
respiratory protection as a daily necessity. As part of this effort, the
company has intensified its nationwide FFP2 Mask Awareness Campaign to drive
greater public action on respiratory safety.
In recent weeks, several regions in North India have
recorded AQI levels well above the ‘severe’ category, exposing millions to
dangerous concentrations of PM2.5, dust, and toxic pollutants. These
microscopic particles—often 30 times finer than a strand of human hair—can
penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, significantly increasing the
risk of respiratory illness, chronic disease, and long-term health
complications.
“Air pollution today has reached levels where it is
silently impacting the health of millions. At KARAM Safety, we believe that
respiratory protection must become a daily habit, not an occasional response.
Our certified FFP2 masks are engineered to shield people from the invisible
threats in the air they breathe every second. As air quality worsens across
cities, we remain committed to empowering citizens with reliable, science-backed
protection,” said Hemant Sapra, President, Global Sales &
Marketing, KARAM Safety.
“The concentration of PM2.5 and toxic airborne
pollutants has made high-performance respiratory protection a critical
necessity. At KARAM, every mask is designed with advanced filtration
technology, superior fit, and rigorous safety standards to ensure dependable
protection in real-world conditions. Our goal is simple—help people breathe
safer, no matter how challenging the environment becomes,” added Mr.
Rajesh Nigam, President – Technical, KARAM Safety.
In line with its ongoing public outreach, KARAM Safety
has strengthened its nationwide FFP2 Mask Awareness Campaign to encourage
citizens to integrate certified respiratory masks into their everyday lives.
The campaign focuses on educating people about advanced filtration efficiency,
correct mask usage, and the importance of choosing certified FFP2 protection
over non-standard alternatives.
To help people breathe safer air during this critical
period, KARAM Safety has reinforced the importance of using Certified
FFP2 Respiratory Masks, which are engineered with a multi-layer
construction that enhances both protection and comfort. Each mask is designed
with a water-repellent outer layer for defence against liquid aerosols, a
pre-filtering fabric that captures larger particles at the first point of
contact, and a high-efficiency melt-blown filtration layer that forms the core
barrier against fine particulate matter. The inner surface features a
sweat-absorbent layer that keeps the mask comfortable for long hours of wear,
while soft, skin-friendly bands ensure a secure yet gentle fit on the face.
This design not only maximises filtration efficiency but also maintains high
breathability—making the masks suitable for extended daily use in highly
polluted environments.
The range includes the RFH 02 Disposable Face
Respirator with Headband, the RF 02+ Disposable Face Respirator
with Ear Loops and Exhalation Valve, the RFH 12+ Disposable Face
Respirator with Adjustable Headband and Exhalation Valve, and the RFTH
12+ Disposable Fish-Type Respirator with Headband and Exhalation Valve. All
products comply with IS 9473:2002, and select models also conform
to EN 149:2001 + A1:2009, underscoring their performance against
stringent international standards.
With their advanced filtration architecture,
dependable particle-blocking efficiency, and ergonomic fit designed for
real-world conditions, KARAM Safety’s FFP2 masks offer robust protection
against PM2.5 pollutants, dust, and airborne contaminants at a time when
respiratory safety has become an urgent public need.
As pollution continues to surge across urban centres,
KARAM Safety reiterates that certified respiratory protection remains one of
the most immediate, accessible, and effective solutions available to safeguard
public health. Through its strengthened FFP2 Mask Awareness Campaign, the
company aims to empower citizens to make informed choices and prioritise their
respiratory well-being every day.
