Class 1 - Air-Purifying

Class 1 air-purifying devices cleanse the contaminated atmosphere. Chemical filters can be used to remove specific gases and vapors, and mechanical filters can remove particulate matter. This type of respirator is limited in its use to those environments where the air contaminant level is within the specified concentration limitation of the device. These devices do NOT protect against oxygen deficiency.
