Filtering Facepiece Respirators

Filtering facepiece respirators, commonly known as N95 masks, are protective masks designed to filter out airborne particles, including viruses and dust. They fit snugly over the nose and mouth, creating a seal that prevents unfiltered air from entering. The respirator's filter material captures harmful particles, allowing the wearer to breathe cleaner air. These masks are widely used in healthcare, industrial, and environmental settings to reduce exposure to airborne hazards. Proper fit and handling are essential for maximum effectiveness, and they are meant for single-use or limited reuse depending on guidelines.
