The illustration shows a generic example of a box plot with the maximum, third quartile, median, first quartile, and minimum values labeled. The relative vertical spacing between the labels reflects the values of the variable in proportion.
Respirator Types Two basic types of respirators are: â¢ air-purifying; andâ¢ supplied-air respirators. Air-purifying respirators remove airborne contaminants such as particles, toxic vapors, and/or gases.
A half face particulate (air-purifying) mask is generally worn to protect the wearer from dust and paint fumes. A respirator is a device designed to protect the wearer from inhaling harmful dusts, fumes, vapors, or gases. Respirators come in a wide range of types and sizes used by the military, private industry, and the public. Respirators range from relatively inexpensive single-use, disposable masks to more robust reusable models with replaceable cartridges.
