Air-purifying respirators

Air-purifying respirators are protective devices designed to filter harmful particles, gases, or vapors from the air before inhalation. They have a mask that covers your nose and mouth and use specialized filtering materials to clean the air you breathe. These respirators are used in environments with dust, fumes, or airborne hazards, such as construction sites or laboratories. Unlike supplied-air systems, they do not provide oxygen; they only filter contaminated air. Proper fit and maintenance are essential for effectiveness. Overall, they help protect your respiratory health in hazardous settings by ensuring the air you breathe is cleaner.
