Influenza A (H1N1) –
Also known as Swine Flu

Moldex^® has the types of NIOSH approved disposable particulate respirators that the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization recommend for the H1N1 flu. Like all disposable respirators, Moldex^® disposable particulate respirators are designed to help reduce but cannot eliminate the wearer’s exposure to airborne biological contaminants. They do not eliminate the risk of illness, disease, or death.

For airborne biological contaminants such as H1N1 flu, the CDC recently recommended the use of N95 or higher respirators that are certified by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Surgical N95 masks which are disposable, surgical type masks cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as medical devices are also recommended for certain situations.

Moldex^®offers a variety of disposable particulate respirators that are of the type recommended by the CDC.
