Nevermind the threat, nothing offers more protection than full-face respirators. Judging by that stunned look on your face, I imagine that is an odd leading sentence, but so be it. Whether it's Uncle Mort after Thanksgiving dinner or a chemical or biological outbreak (which, I contend, Uncle Mort would still qualify as), a full-face respirator could be the difference between staying healthy and getting really, really sick.
Does your art teacher hardly hear a word you're saying? Is he or she drifting off the subject and walking in circles? It may be the years of breathing in turpentine. Yes, that's right: exposure to art materials (like turpentine) leads to serious health affects, like tinnitus. You know, the condition made popular by Pete Townsend (poor sap). It's that persistent ringing in the ears. Van Gogh suffered from it. Maybe thats what prompted the whole ear-cutting thing. Or it could've been a girl thing.
Should you or a loved one run the risk of breathing in hazardous fumes, it's time for a respirator. Risk of hazardous fumes -- aren't we all at risk? Indeed we are, especially those of us who have the misfortune of living in Los Angeles? Indeed. I say wear one everywhere. Set the new LA trend and cover your face with a full-face respirator. It makes the perfect red carpet accessory.
When it comes to types of respirators, there are usually two to choose from: supplied air and powered air. Supplied air respirators use filters that cleanse the air as you breathe in. Think of it as a Brita water filter for your lungs. These can be full-faced or partial units. They are quite effective, but not as impressive or cumbersome as the powered air respirators. These bad boys use motorized pumps to draw the air in, filter it, and then make it available or breathing. Think scuba divers, firemen, and high-altitude, low insertion paratroopers. Dude, those guys are bad.
Avoid the threats to your very existence by strapping one of these bad mommas to your face. Your whole face! Stuff it in there! Often particles of hazardous materials or pathogens can easily enter your blood stream through your eyes or ears or pores or whatever. For that matter, you'd be better ff wearing a HAZMAT suit at all times -- even in the shower. I kid, but the realities of potential hazards go far beyond Bo and Luke Duke. That was reaching, I know, but do yourself a favor and at least have a few full-face respirators on hand for whatever.

The world of full-face respirators may seem like some forbidden subculture, but trust me: you need them. Remember, we are all supposed to have a survival kit on hand, especially in California. A set of full-face respirators will do you good in the long run.
