• Description:
  This report details the results for inhalation and exhalation resistance and filtration performance from 3,971 APRs collected from ten U.S. stockpile facilities, including one federal stockpile, six state stockpiles, two regional stockpiles, and one county stockpile. Facilityspecific reports can be found on NIOSH's PPE CASE Report website. NIOSH found that 98% of the air-purifying respirators tested from ten stockpile facilities and manufactured between 2003-2013 maintained their inhalation and exhalation resistance and filtration performance in accordance with NIOSH performance standards.
