For plastic fumes, respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is key. A well-fitted half-mask respirator with the right filter — usually an ABEK or organic vapour filter — can help reduce inhalation risks. But remember, PPE should be a last resort, not the first line of defence. Gloves, eye protection, and heat-resistant clothing may also be needed, depending on the task. Always match the PPE to the specific hazards involved.
