Respiratory Protection

Respiratory protection refers to equipment designed to safeguard your lungs from harmful airborne particles, gases, or vapors. Common examples include masks and respirators that filter out pollutants, allergens, or infectious agents. These devices are crucial in various settings, such as construction sites, hospitals, and during public health emergencies (like pandemics). Proper use ensures that individuals breathe safer air, reducing the risk of respiratory illnesses. Choosing the right type of protection depends on the specific hazards present, and training is often necessary to ensure effective use.
