with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to
Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece
and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode
in combination with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
