The San Francisco Chronicle attempts to answer "How long can I keep using the same N95 respirator mask?"
To judge whether your respirator is suitable for continued use, you should monitor its condition closely, [one expert] said. He recommends checking regularly to determine whether the filter layers are visibly wet, soiled or dirty, or the outer edge no longer seals tightly around your face.
“If the respirator is not compromised, you can safely reuse it,” he said. When in doubt, you should toss it and rotate to a new one.
...
generally, [another expert] said she doesn’t usually re-wear an N95 mask more than five times, and will toss it if it gets dirty or wet.
Some experts say the same respirator can be reused up to a week, if handled and stored properly. However, they say that if you wear it in a high-risk setting like a health care facility, it’s safest to discard it after a day.

ohhh yeah I remember this. In 2011 when valve invited the portal 2 ARG winners to the office they left us unattended for awhile and we went on a little 'hallway roam'. The active cabals at the time were TF2, L4D2, & Dota2. But there were a bunch of other abandoned looking rooms. https://t.co/XqyfMFcvxD

Nearly 5,000 seafarers were abandoned on their vessels between 2004 and 2018; Tips for spotting fake videos like "missiles" hitting Beirut; Dog reunited with its owner

The ammonium nitrate that blew up in Beirut was left by M/V RHOSUS, an ailing ship whose fate was unclear. Until now. @ckoettl found out that it sank in early 2018, and has been submerged a mere 1,500 feet away from the warehouse that exploded.

Check out my colleague @ckoettl's thread on how he tracked and found the M/V RHOSUS, including this satellite image which was taken around the day the ship sank. https://t.co/YEySgMMbLV— Christiaan Triebert (@trbrtc) August 7, 2020
Here's the ship in 2014 at the docks. The captain is in front of ammonium nitrate bags, which match the ones in the warehouse that blew up. Photos from @DimaSadek also show the Georgian company Rustavi Azot, listed as the shipper in documents from 2013https://t.co/NsxmFNeL9t pic.twitter.com/NAyXD91dYv— Christoph Koettl (@ckoettl) August 7, 2020
