What is the service life of an N95 filter or filtering facepiece respirator?

Unless the manufacturer identifies a specified duration of use, for example “single use only”, the service life of all filters is limited by considerations of hygiene, damage, and breathing resistance. All filters should be replaced whenever they are damaged, soiled, or causing noticeably increased breathing resistance. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for specific information on the model you are using.
