In this episode Mike Clayton, 3M’s Senior Respiratory Protection
Research & Application Specialist for the Personal Safety Division
in the United Kingdom joins host Mark Reggers to discuss

Respiratory protective equipment factors are numbers that reflect
how much protection a respirator is capable of offering the wearer,
for the level of air contaminants in their environment. Knowing the
