Increasing respiratory disorders driving global demand for respirators
Air-purifying respirators are many types of negative-pressure respirators which include chemical media and mechanical filters. Positive pressure respirators include powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). Air-Purifying escape respirators (APER) are used by the general public for radiological, biological, chemical and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism incidents.
Particulate respirator refers to a medical device that is used for purifying air. It helps to inhale pure air as it has a filtering element that blocks the entry of contaminated air. On the basis of designing, particulate respirators can be categorized into half face particulate respirators and full face particulate respirators. The global market for particulate respirators is increasing at a significant rate due to increasing number of respiratory disorder cases.
