Description:

Atmosphere-supplying respirators provide clean breathing air from a source separate from the work area. These respirators protect wearers from many types of contaminants (particles, gases, and vapors). In some cases, they can also supply breathable air in places that do not have enough oxygen. Fit testing is required for respirators with a tight-fitting facepiece.
