What are the Limitations of Particulate Respirators?
While particulate respirators are highly effective in filtering airborne particles, they have limitations. They do not provide protection against gases or vapors unless equipped with additional chemical cartridges. Furthermore, the fit and seal of the respirator are critical to its effectiveness. Poor fit can lead to leakage, reducing the level of protection. Users should also be aware of the respirator's service life and replace filters or the device as needed.
