The respirators recommended by EPA and NIOSH for asbestos are not only extreme and impractical, but more important, unlikely to provide the highest protection possible. Because of the ease of wearing, powered air purifying respirators may provide as good protection as air line devices with fewer interruptions. Placing carcinogens in the category of compounds that are considered immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) is a mistake and leads to error in the selection of respiratory protection.

This NIOSH (Nat. Inst. for Occupational Safety and Health) Technical Guide is intended to provide respirator users with a single source of respirator information. It covers the selection, use, and maintenance of respiratory protective devices available in 1987. NIOSH has had an ongoing respirator research program since the early 1970s. Chapters: NIOSH and Respiratory Protection; Types of Respirators; Respirator Selection: Regulatory Requirements, General Selection Information, NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic, and NIOSH Certified Equipment List; Respirator Use: Federal Regulatory Requirements, The Respiratory Protection Program, and Program Elements; and Respirator Use Under Special Conditions.
