Selecting the appropriate respiratory protection depends on several factors, such as the type of nanomaterials, their concentration, and the nature of the work being performed. Here are some common options: - N95 Respirators: These offer basic protection by filtering out at least 95% of airborne particles. They are suitable for low to moderate exposure levels. - Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPRs): These provide a higher level of protection by using a battery-powered blower to push air through filters. - Supplied-Air Respirators (SARs): Ideal for environments with high concentrations of nanoparticles, as they supply clean air from an external source.
