As you breathe through them, these respirators filter out contaminants in the air. Throw them out when breathing is difficult or if they’re damaged or dirty. They're best for short-term use and areas with low levels of contaminants.

N95 respirators filter out 95% of solid particles. They’re not oil resistant. N99 respirators filter out 99% of solid particles. They’re not oil resistant. N100 respirators filter out 99.97% of solid particles. They’re not oil resistant. R95 respirators resist oil exposure for up to 8 hours and filter out 95% of solid particles. P95 respirators resist oil exposure for up to 40 hours and filter out 95% of solid particles. P100 respirators resist oil exposure for up to 40 hours and filter out 99.97% of solid particles.

To achieve the filter rating, you'll need a respirator that creates a tight seal with your face to prevent contaminants from entering through the sides.
