    The N95 respirator filters at least 95% of airborne particles but is not resistant to oil. It has an exhalation valve that makes breathing out easier. Filtering facepiece respirators, including N95 masks, are considered true respirators by OSHA as they filter 95% of particles at the 0.3 micron level, with N95 being the most common type.

    The use of an exhalation valve reduces exhalation resistance, which makes it easier to breathe (exhale). Some
    users feel that a respirator with an exhalation valve keeps the face cooler and reduces moisture build up inside the
    facepiece

    Filtering Facepiece Respirators (also called dust masks) are considered true respirators according to
    OSHA. N95 refers to the NIOSH certification of the filter media that comprises the facepiece. N
    means that it is not oil resistant and 95 refers to it being 95% effective at filtering particles at the
    0.3 micron level. N95 is the most common type of filtering facepiece respirator. Other NIOSH-
    certified filtering facepiece respirators include R95, P95, N100 and P100.
