The right gear is important when it comes to protecting against environments full of harmful particles or even toxic fumes. Two popular choices include gas masks and powered respirators, known by many as PAPRs (Powered Air Purifying Respirators). While both fulfill the same general purpose of keeping bad stuff out of your lungs, they do it in very different ways.
Respirators are essential devices that workers from different industries wear to protect themselves from insufficient oxygen, harmful dust, fogs, mists, gases, vapours, sprays, and smoke. Since respirators are used across different industries, like healthcare, construction, and manufacturing, respirators come in different types to provide the appropriate level of protection depending upon the environment and hazard levels.
