Quick Facts About Disposable N95 Respirators

  • Offer the best protection for workers that come in contact or close (< 6 feet) to those with influenza-like symptoms
  • With a properly sealed respirator mask, inhaled air is forced to travel through a respirator's filtering material, blocking much smaller particulates than a surgical mask
  • Can protect the wearer from influenza and other common respiratory infections as well as other airborne illnesses like measles, chickenpox, or tuberculosis
  • Are designed to create a tight seal on the wearers face, so must be properly sized for the wearer
  • Are designed to prevent the inhalation of airborne infectious particulates
  • Provide a higher level of protection than a surgical mask when worn properly
