How to select the right Full Face Filter for your job?

You will need to ask/assess the following questions in order to determine the right filter for your requirements.

• Will the atmosphere contain sufficient oxygen (18-23 vol-%) throughout the period of exposure? 
• Which hazardous substances are likely to be present?
• Which forms do the airborne contaminants take? Are they particles, gases or vapour or indeed a mixture of these?
• What effects can these substances have on the respiratory organs? Special attention is needed if there are several substances that may interact, either by reacting chemically, or by having synergistic adverse health effects.
• What are the concentrations in the atmosphere?
• Which are the relevant occupational exposure limits (OEL) or safe exposure levels?

Most of these answers will be found by reviewing the Material Safety Data sheets for the materials you are using.
