To the product area respiratory protection

Activated carbon filter in half-masks for protection against gases and vapours

Code	Description	Example
A	organic gases and vapours	Painting, tarring, herbicides
B	Inorganic gases and vapours, hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide	Detergents and disinfection agents
E	Sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride	Exhaust gases
K	Ammonia	Manure, stables
P	Dust	Dust

The filter classes provide information on the maximum concentration of harmful gas in the air:

	Filter class	Maximum protection
	1	<1000 ppm (0,1vol%)
	2	<5000 ppm (0,5vol%)
	3	<10000 ppm (1,0vol%)

The lifetime of filters depends on the humidity and temperature of the inhaled air, the chemical composition of the gases or the storage conditions. This means a general lifetime cannot be specified. Change the filter as soon as you notice the first unpleasant odours or inhaling becomes difficult as the filter has bonded together.
