Are cartridges for respirators color-coded?

Cartridges for respirators are indeed color-coded to indicate the type of pesticide active ingredient they are designed to filter. This color-coding system allows users to easily identify the appropriate cartridge for specific hazards associated with different chemicals. For example, cartridges that offer protection against organic vapors may have a certain color, while those meant for particulates or other chemical classes may be marked differently. This visual cue is essential for ensuring safety and proper usage in fumigation practices and other applications where inhalation risks are present.

Other options do not reflect the established safety protocols in respiratory protection. Some suggest that all cartridges are the same color or imply that color-coding only applies under particular conditions. However, the consistent application of a color-coding system across all cartridges enhances the ability of users to select the right protective equipment efficiently.
