No one has need of any respirator that does not meet NIOSH certification and that insures they are not going to be "cheap." The program, medical certification, professional fit testing ain't cheap either. As soon as I hear the word "odor" in this context, I know there is a problem. Hang odor, how efficient is the cartridge at various concentrations? Along the same vein, those ozone-adding Ionic Breeze air purifiers now come with an ozone filter to remove both pollution ozone and the ozone produced by the purifier. It's interesting they are now charging more to fix a problem they used to say they didn't have. Ah, what a world.
