Why are PAPRs preferred over other respirators in toxic environments?
PAPRs offer several advantages over traditional respirators, especially in environments with high concentrations of airborne toxins. The powered airflow reduces breathing resistance, making them more comfortable for extended use. Additionally, PAPRs provide a higher level of protection as they can achieve a better face seal and maintain positive pressure inside the mask, preventing contaminants from entering even if the seal is slightly compromised.
