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.
All of these respirators (except for the dust masks or filtering face pieces) are available in either half-mask or full-face pieces. What are respirators made from? Filtering facepiece (dust masks) are generally made directly from a cloth-like filter material. Chemical cartridge/gas mask respirators can be made from a variety of materials. The most popular facepiece materials are silicone, neoprene, and rubber. In general, rubber and neoprene are rigid, durable materials. Silicone is usually preferred for its comfort, flexibility and ease in cleaning.
