for which the respirator is
being selected.
2. The concentration level
of contaminant(s).
3. Whether the respirator can be
properly fitted on the wearer’s
face. Do not use with beards,
other facial hair, or other
conditions that prevent a good
seal between the face and the
faceseal of the respirator.
