Biological Particles
This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g.
mold,
Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis
, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of
contracting infection, illness or disease. OSHA and other government agencies have not
established safe exposure limits for these contaminants.
