  • For the mask worn during surgery, see Surgical mask. A respirator is a device designed to protect the wearer from inhaling hazardous atmospheres, including fumes, vapours, gases and particulate matter such as dusts and airborne microorganisms. 
  • There are two main categories: the air-purifying respirator, in which respirable air is obtained by filtering a contaminated atmosphere, and the air-supplied respirator, in which an alternate supply of breathable air is delivered. 
  • Within each category, different techniques are employed to reduce or eliminate noxious airborne contaminants.
