Does anyone know what this is in English, I can't find it anywhere. I am right on the deadline, so any quick help would be greatly appreciated.
There is no context it is a a heading describing this type of Respirator for protection of airways, but here is the text which follows the heading:
a) respirador de fuga tipo bocal para proteção das vias respiratórias contra gases e vapores e ou material particulado em condições de escape de atmosferas Imediatamente Perigosas à Vida e a Saúde (IPVS).
E - EPI PARA PROTEÇÃO DO TRONCO
E.1 - Vestimentas
a) Vestimentas para proteção do tronco contra riscos de origem térmica;
b) Vestimentas para proteção do tronco contra riscos de origem mecânica;
TIA,
Laura

Escape respirator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_respirator
Escape respirator is a portable appliance regenerating breathable air to help provide respiratory protection for emergency escape from zones containing harmful gases. A cross-breed between a gas mask and a respirator, the emergency respirator is used extensively in mining and chemical industries.

Gas mask
I can´t think what else it could be....
Note from asker:
| Thank you suesimos, but this is too generic, and not quite what this respirator is used for. As I explained above this document is an Occupational Health Standard and is super detailed, describing precisely lots and lots of different respiratory protective devices, so I really needed a very specific term. Thanks for your help! |

| This is a good suggestion, but the text includes another term for this so I can't use it here or it would be confusing. Thank you. |
