WHAT IS A RESPIRATOR
(parem kaitse, kallim, raskem leida).
Full Face Air Purifying Respirator with
replaceable N100, R100, or P100 filter cartridges
(still better protection, more expensive, harder to find).
Full Face Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR)
with replaceable N100, R100, or P100 filter cartridges
(best protection, most expensive, hardest to find).
TYPES OF AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS:
For even better protection with half face or full face respirators, or
with full face PAPRs, use combination filters labeled "P100" and "organic vapor."
CAN ANYONE USE A RESPIRATOR?
Using a respirator makes your lungs and heart work harder. If you have a lung or
heart condition, wearing a respirator may be dangerous for you. If a medical
condition prevents you from wearing a respirator, you cannot protect yourself against
breathing in harmful contaminants in the air. If you have facial hair, you may not be
able to wear a respirator
