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.
OSHA points out in notes accompanying the new APF table that the half mask air-purifying respirator category, which is assigned a protection factor of 10, includes both filtering facepieces (i.e. , dust masks) and half masks with elastomeric facepieces.he new final rule takes effect on November 22, 2006. It includes a table of APFs (attached to this message) for the four basic types of respirators -- air-purifying respirator (APR), powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR), supplied-air respirator (SAR), and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
