Respiratory masks, also known as respirators, are designed to protect the wearer from inhaling harmful particles, gases, or vapors. They cover the nose and mouth, filtering the air to ensure the wearer breathes in clean air. Uses of respiratory masks include:
1. Industrial settings: Protecting workers from dust, chemicals, and other airborne hazards.
2. Healthcare: Preventing exposure to infectious diseases, like tuberculosis or influenza.
3. Construction and renovation: Reducing exposure to dust, asbestos, and other construction materials.
4. Firefighting and emergency response: Protecting against smoke, chemicals, and other hazardous substances.
5. Laboratories: Safeguarding against biological and chemical agents.
6. Mining and quarrying: Preventing inhalation of dust and other airborne contaminants.
7. Painting and sanding: Reducing exposure to fumes and particles.
8. Welding and metalworking: Protecting against metal fumes and particles.
