NIOSH update on Particulate Respirators for Nano Particles

NIOSH has recently published in its Science Blog that in majority of instances the currently available NIOSH approved particulate respirators such as N95/P100s provide sufficient protection to researches and Nano industry workers. NIOSH found that 30-100nm particles are most penetrating to these respirator types and they will continue to test these repirators further. Please refer to the NIOSH website for the published blog http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/blog/.

If you require fit-testing or have a question regarding your current respirator. Please contact Ben Pandher @ bpandher@uoguelph.ca
