CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR, BREATHING MASK, SAFETY EQUIPMENTDescription: This resembles a military gas mask with two protruding filter cartridges and a heavy rubber strap to hold the mask to the head. Buying information: It comes in two models, one of which covers half the face; the other is a full-face version. These are the ultimate in breathing mask protection, but check to make sure that the respirator is designed to protect against the specific substances you will be working with or around. Look for the label that says the mask is government-approved against the particular vapor. One mask, for example, may be approved for paint fumes (typically, "organic" vapors), but not for radon. |
