What type of respirator is considered an atmosphere-supplying respirator?

Powered air-purifying respirators
Non-powered particulate respirators
Supplied-air respirator
Chemical cartridge respirators

The correct answer is: Supplied-air respirator

Atmosphere-supplying respirators are a type of respiratory protective device that delivers clean air from a remote source. Unlike powered air-purifying respirators, which use a battery-powered fan to pull air through filters, atmosphere-supplying respirators rely on a hose or tube to supply air from a clean source. This makes options A and B incorrect. While non-powered particulate respirators, like N95 masks, can filter out dust, they do not utilize a hose or tube to supply air from a clean source. Chemical cartridge respirators, option D, are not considered atmosphere-supplying because they use a cartridge to filter out specific chemicals rather than supplying clean air. Therefore, the correct answer is C, a supplied-air respirator.
