CDC Interim Guidance for H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu): Using Facemasks or Respirators
- Avoid close contact (less than about 6 feet away) with the sick person as much as possible.
- If you must have close contact with the sick person (for example, hold a sick infant), spend the least amount of time possible in close contact and try to wear a facemask (for example, surgical mask) or N95 disposable respirator.
- An N95 respirator that fits snugly on your face can filter out small particles that can be inhaled around the edges of a facemask, but compared with a facemask it is harder to breathe through an N95 mask for long periods of time. More information on facemasks and respirators can be found at www.cdc.gov/swineflu
- Wear an N95 respirator if you help a sick person with respiratory treatments using a nebulizer or inhaler, as directed by their doctor. Respiratory treatments should be performed in a separate room away from common areas of the house when at all possible.
- Used facemasks and N95 respirators should be taken off and placed immediately in the regular trash so they don't touch anything else.
- Avoid re-using disposable facemasks and N95 respirators if possible. If a reusable fabric facemask is used, it should be laundered with normal laundry detergent and tumble-dried in a hot dryer.
- After you take off a facemask or N95 respirator, clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Different respirators serve different functions, but essentially their job is to protect the health of the wearer by filtering airborne particles, and harmful chemicals and gases, so that you breathe only safe, uncontaminated air. Our online catalog contains disposable respirator masks, dust masks, and many other respirators suitable for personal, professional, and military use.
Respirators protect the user in two basic ways. The first is by the removal of contaminants from the air. Respirators of this type include particulate respirators, which filter out airborne particles; and "gas masks" which filter out chemicals and gases. A second way respirators protect is by supplying clean respirated air by another source. Respirators that fall into this category include airline respirators, which use compressed air from a remote source; and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which include their own air supply.

Respirator Information |
|
Respirators should be worn to protect the wearer in the presence of harmful dusts, fumes, vapors, and/or gases. Professional Equipment offers a wide range of respirators in all types and sizes used by the military, pharmaceutical, automotive, and chemical manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture, asbestos abatement, electrical utilities, hazardous materials, nuclear, the public, and much more. Generally, respirators fall into two major categories: the air-purifying respirator, which forces contaminated air through a filtering element, and the air-supplied respirator, in which an alternate supply of fresh air is delivered. Within each category, different techniques are employed to reduce or eliminate noxious airborne contents. All respirators feature some type of facepiece that either covers the entire face or the bottom half including the nose and the mouth. This facepiece is held in place with straps, a cloth harness, or some other method. Half-face respirators can only be worn in environments where the contaminants are not toxic to the eyes or facial area. For example, a half-face respirator is suitable for a spray painting application, while a full-face respirator would be necessary in a situation where chlorine gas is present. We carry facepieces in many different styles and sizes to accommodate all types of face shapes. Air-purifying respiratorsAir-purifying respirators provide protection against particulates (such as smoke or fumes), gases, and vapors. This class includes:
Half- or full-facepiece designs of this type use a filter that acts passively on air inhaled by the wearer. Some common examples of this type of respirator are single-use escape hoods and filter masks. Filter masks are typically simple, light, single-piece, half-face masks and utilize the first three mechanical mechanisms in the list below to remove particulates from the air stream. The most common of these is the disposable white N95 variety. The entire unit is discarded after some extended period or a single use, depending on the contaminant. Filter masks also come in replaceable-cartridge, multiple-use models. Typically one or two cartridges attach securely to a mask with a corresponding number of valves for inhalation and one for exhalation. Mechanical filter respiratorsMechanical filter respirators retain particulate matter when contaminated air is passed through the filter material. This filter material is composed of wool, plastic, glass, cellulose, and combinations of two or more of these materials. Since the filters cannot be cleaned and reused and therefore have a limited lifespan, cost and disposability are key factors. Single-use, disposable as well as replaceable cartridge models are common. |
