Gas masks – with Cartridges – are also known as air-purifying respirators because they can clean chemical gases and vapors and possible particles out of the air as you breathe.
This type of respirator includes a facepiece or mask, and a cartridge which sometimes includes a filter.
Gas and Vapor cartridges are designed to protect against a variety of gases and vapors. Examples include Ammonia & Methylamine, Mercury Vapors, Organic Vapors and Acid Gas to name but a few.
Note: It is critical that your workplace is monitored to determine the type and level of contaminants you may confront.
