Mechanical ventilators
Some varieties of 3m respirators that are available include air-purifying respirators, mechanical filter respirators, and chemical cartridge respirators.

Two common types of respirators used for respiratory protection are N95 respirators and full-face respirators. N95 respirators filter out at least 95% of airborne particles and are commonly used in healthcare settings. Full-face respirators provide a higher level of protection by covering the entire face, including the eyes, and can filter out various airborne contaminants, making them suitable for hazardous environments.
The two primary types of respirators are air-purifying respirators (APRs) and supplied-air respirators (SARs). Air-purifying respirators filter out contaminants from the air, such as particulate matter or gases, and are used in environments where the air is still breathable but contaminated. In contrast, supplied-air respirators provide a fresh supply of air from an external source, making them suitable for use in highly hazardous environments where the air quality is not safe to breathe.
You can purchase 3M respirators several different places, you can purchase online at Amazon or the Brands website for example. The respirators can also be purchased instore at Walmart, Walgreens, and Home Depot.
No, they cannot. In IDLH situations supplied air respirators or SCBA's must be used.

One can find more information about full face respirators on websites such as Wikipedia, Multimedia 3M or MSA Safety. Information are also available on TSI or Moldex.
No, OSHA does not require anti-TB respirators for all work sites. However, those workplaces where the employees have a potential for exposure to the airborne TB bacillus would be required by OSHA to assess their work practices to determine whether, and what kind of, personal protective equipment is required. They may conclude that such respirators are needed for some functions.
The most expensive respirator is the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. PAPRs typically range in price from $1,000 to $2,000 or more, depending on the brand and features. These respirators use a battery-powered fan to filter and circulate air, providing a more comfortable and effective respiratory protection than traditional respirators.
Gas masks are called respirators because they are designed to filter and purify the air that the wearer breathes in, protecting them from harmful gases, chemicals, and particles. The term "respirator" emphasizes the focus on providing clean air for breathing, which is essential for protection against various airborne hazards.
