• Description:
  Respirator Use. NIOSH/BLS Respirator Survey (2001). Respirators used by 3.3 million employees in 281,000 businesses. 264,000 establishments using non-powered air purifying respirators (APRs). 107,000 use APRs for "Other Dust". 111,000 use APRs for "Paint Vapors". Introduction - APFs. Assigned protection of OSHA standard reserve. Limited WPF data available. OSHA planned to promulgate APF provisions in the future. NIOSH and ANSI guidelines. Introduction - WPFs. Why so little data on WPFs? Tedious sampling. Analytical challenges. Temperature, humidity, sensitivity. Continuous vs intermittent sampling. How to address lung retention. Limited resources - not a priority. [Description provided by NIOSH]
