N95 Disposable Respirators
Unless otherwise specified, "respirator" refers to
an N95 or higher filtering face piece respirator certified by the CDC/National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). A respirator is designed
to protect the person wearing the respirator against breathing in very small
particle aerosols that may contain viruses. A respirator that fits snugly on
the face can filter out virus-containing small particle aerosols that can be
generated by an infected person. Respirators are not
recommended for children or people who have facial hair.
