Abstract:
A respirator for enabling a wearer to inhale filtered air through the wearers nostrils comprising an elongate breathing tube, an air-purifying element disposed in fluidic engagement with the elongate breathing tube, and first and second nasal inserts disposed in fluidic engagement with the elongate breathing tube and with the air-purifying element. The first and second nasal inserts are preferably disposed in close proximity to one another, and a nose plug preferably extends from each nasal insert. With this, a wearer can inhale purified air into the wearers nostrils through the nose plugs from the elongate breathing tube after the air has been purified by being drawn through the air-purifying element.
