Face Masks vs. Respirators [Video]

Respirators are designed to provide a defense against hazardous substances like dust, smoke, fumes, and pathogens. Common types of respirators include the N95, N99, and N100. Each type of respirator offers different levels of filtration efficiency, making them suited for different jobs.

Although similar to respirators, face masks are different in that they do not properly protect the wearer from harmful fumes and substances. Instead, they are designed to prevent respiratory droplets from being released into the air when the wearer speaks, coughs, or sneezes. If you’re looking for a way to protect yourself from harmful substances then respirators are the way to go, however, for people looking to mitigate the spread of respiratory droplets face masks will get the job done.
