- Respirators are disposable, but can be used many times if they are properly cared for, avoiding humidity, dirt and being crushed.
- They should be stored in a clean, dry place, not wrapped in a plastic bag, to avoid humidity and mold.
- Often times the elastic band of a respirator will be the weakest point.
- In order for respirators to be effective, they must adjust tightly to the face to avoid leaks.
- Consequently, storing respirators by hanging them by their elastic band is not recommended because it will stretch the elastic.
