Respirators & Their Uses

Air-Purifying Respirators Many have filters, cartridges, or canisters that remove contaminants from the air by passing the ambient air through the air-purifying element before it reaches the user.

Particulate Respirator

  • Captures particles in the air, such as dusts, mists, and fumes
  • Does not protect against gases or vapors
  • Generally becomes more effective as particles accumulate on the filter and plug spaces between the fibers
  • Combination Respirator
  • Normally used in atmospheres that contain hazards of both particulates and gases
  • Have both particulate filters and gas/vapor filters
  • Gas and Vapor Respirator
  • Are normally used when there are only hazardous gases and vapors in the air.
  • Uses chemical filters to remove dangerous gases or vapors and protect against specific gases or vapors, not airborne particles
  • Provides protection only as long as the filter’s absorbing capacity is not depleted
  • Generally equipped with an end-of-service-life indicator (ESLI).
  • If no ESLI is present, a change schedule is necessary

Atmosphere-Supplying Respirators Supplied-Air Respirator (SAR)

  • Makes use of a hose to deliver clean, safe air from a stationary source of compressed air
  • Provides clean air for long periods of time and is light weight for the user
  • Limits the range of user-mobility and may fail due to hose damage
  • Are normally used when there are extended work periods required in atmospheres that ARE NOT immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH)
  • Combination Respirator
  • Have an auxiliary self-contained air supply to be used if the primary supply fails
  • The self-contained portion can be small since it only needs to supply enough air for escape
  • Can be used for entry into confined spaces
  • Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
  • Consists of a wearable, clean-air supply pack
  • Doesn’t restrict movement with a hose connection
  • The closed-circuit type can provide air up to 4 hours
  • The open-circuit type only provides air for 30 – 60 minutes
