It is a type of face mask for surgery or for industrial uses that is able to filter particles in the air that are sub-microscopic. That rating is an indication that the filtering potential is at the level required for super small particles like viruses.
The term that is often used to refer to these super-filtering masks is "respirator" and when used by the CDC in this context, refers to: an N95 or higher filtering face piece respirator certified by the CDC/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Respirators are not recommended for children or people who have facial hair and they are difficult to breathe through for long periods of time. CDC also recommends medical evaluation, fitting, and training in its use.

What is size of H1N1 virus vs N95 mask?
An N95 or similar mask will filter viruses (H1N1 included) But its not the micron filtration size that needs to be focused on, its the proper fit of the mask. Leaks from improper fit and deep breaths will severely limit the effectiveness of simple filter masks. The other consideration is behavior while masked. Wiping the eyes, picking your teeth under the mask, etc.

Can you reuse an N95 face mask if using it to protect you from viruses?
Not if you are wearing it to protect you from viruses or other sub-microscopic pathogens or pollution/fumes. These N95 masks are more like respirators than a cloth or paper surgical mask. None of these should be reused when used for medical purposes, they should be thrown away after each use since they may harbor some of the filtered particles on the outside that could contaminate people or environments. They can not be washed for reuse, either, this will potentially deform or disintegrate the mask rendering it ineffective. N95 masks must also be medically fit to your face or they will not be effective. They are not recommended for children or those with beards or mustaches because that can allow gaps for particles to enter around the mask. See more in the related questions section.
Does a N95 mask protect against lead?
The N95 is going to filter 95% of the particles in the air, hence the name N95. It will protect the respiratory system against lead, however, the largest worry with lead is topical exposure, or exposure from skin contact. While the mask will protect your respiratory system from the lead particles, if you are grinding or sawing, bare skin will still be exposed. If you are extremely worried about protecting the respiratory system, then the P100 is the next best thing to an SCBA. The downside to the P100 is the upkeep, the training, and the record keeping required by OSHA.
How regularly should you change an N95 face mask?

How many days does N95 mask work?
It really depends on what you are using it for. If you are using the mask to as a particulate filter to paint your house, you can pretty much wear it until the elastic band breaks. If, on the other hand, you have the flu, and are wearing the mask to prevent spreading the virus, then it would make sense to replace the mask daily. By wearing a mask that is covered in germs, you increase your likelihood of staying sick longer.
