Hello friends,

        I've got a good question for those of you operating in Clean Rooms.
We use smocks, hair nets, and face masks for contamination control during
assembly.  However, one style of face mask is the doctor style.  It's pretty
thick fabric with elastic that goes over the ears.  If you cover your mouth
and nose, your glasses fog, or some people develop a fear of tight spaces.
Most people avoid covering the nose to prevent that, but keep the mouth
covered.  There lies the risk of contamination to open packages.  Or, is it
much of a risk?

        How many of you require the nose to be covered with the face mask?

Thanks for your input,

Glenn
