F. I also see some masks with valves, what is that?

Usually N100/FFP3 mask ( filter 99.97%) with the valve. This mask is quicker and easier to exhale air than the non-valved type.
But if the wearer is ill, the valve will mean that their out-breath / coughs/sneezes will make their way through the mask, and into the air, without filtering.
