Breathing Apparatus

A breathing apparatus is a device designed to help individuals breathe in environments where the air is unsafe or lacking oxygen, such as during firefighting, diving, or industrial operations. It typically consists of a tank of compressed air or oxygen and a mask that covers the mouth and nose or the entire face. The wearer inhales the breathable air while keeping harmful gases, smoke, or water out. This equipment is crucial for safety in emergencies and specialized work, allowing people to perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible or life-threatening due to poor air quality.
