What respirators should be used with mouse feces?
Any respirator will do. Make sure you're buying a "respirator" and not just a mask. The packaging will say "respirator". If you are working in an attic, especially in summer, you'll be apt to remove the respirator because of the heat and discomfort as well as the inability to communicate with others (I know this personally). However, if you do this, you might as well not even wear the respirator in the first place. If you're entering an area that you know contains rodents, just try to get the job done as quickly as you can with the respirator on. I was an electrician and worked in lots of old houses and I got used to wearing the respirator. I was also a soldier and learned the importance of trusting my equipment. A respirator is much more comfortable than an NBC pro mask.

What is the difference between a respirator and a ventilator?
"Respirator" is an old word used for the machine most health care personnel would today call a "ventilator". The only time I hear the word "respirator" used today is when talking about respirator masks, which are the specialized masks worn by health care workers when coming into close contact with tuberculosis patients.

What is the difference between a Qualitative Fit Test and a Quantitative Fit Test?
Respirator fit testing is performed to determine how well a respirator seal fits a persons face. Just like people try on shoes to make sure they are comfortable and fit well, a respirator must be fitted to insure maximum protection from contaminates and comfort. With a respirator if there is a leak or it is not worn properly the wearer could be exposed to potentially deadly chemicals. OSHA's regulation 1910.134 explains that employers are responsible for ensuring employees have a respirator fit test to ensure proper face piece to face seal.There are two methods for administering a respirator fit test. Those methods are qualitative and quantitative.Even though Qualitative methods are permitted by OSHA they are subjective and usually do not hold up if ever litigated. Qualitative fit testing uses a challenge agent like banana oil or saccharin. The test is subjective and relies on the workers sense of taste or smell. OSHA regulations only permit the use of qualitative testing for respirators that require an Assigned Protection Factor of 10 or less. This means if you perform a qualitative test on a full face respirator, that respirator cannot be used in concentrations greater than 10 times the chemical's permissible exposure limit.Quantitative respirator fit testing uses a device that measures exact leakage into the breathing zone of the respirator face piece. Contrary to popular perception, it actually takes less time to conduct a quantitative test then a qualitative because there is no taste or odor threshold screening time required.
What kind of respirator would you use for grain bin dust?
If it is only the dust you are worried about then a particulate respirator will provide protection, i.e. a N95 up to a P100. That is if there is enough oxygen in the area that you can use an air purifying respirator. If not then you would need to use supplied air. Supplied air is often used during the fumigation process where a cartridge respirator may not provide adequat protection.

Yes. If one cannot survive without intubation and mechanical ventilation (a respirator), then that would be considered artificial life support.
