Additional
Information:
This filter is an
excellent choice for lead abatement,
pharmaceutical manufacturing, welding, metal pouring and work involving
substance specific particles. Protects against arsenic and cadmium in
concentrations up to 10 times the OSHA PEL. Intended for
heavy-duty use and perfect if you're working in a musty,
moldy area, brushing your pet, sanding or cleaning house.
When
selecting an P100 respirator, it is important to be aware that a
exhalation valve respirator is designed to allow for easy exhalation
through a one-way exhalation valve. If a person is wearing a respirator
to reduce his or her exposure to FLU/SARS, a respirator with an
exhalation valve would be acceptable. It would not be acceptable for
someone to wear a valved respirator if they are a suspected or a
probable confirmed case of FLU/SARS, as they would be exhaling Viruses
and Germs into the Air. For this purpose we recommend the
3M 8210 N95 Respirator.
