About Us

The International Society for Respiratory Protection – ISRP, is a non-profit organization whose charter is to provide an educational and informational service to all individuals involved in respiratory protection.

The Society regularly convenes Regional and International Conferences at various locations around the world.

The main purpose of ISRP is to bring together occupational health and safety professionals in the field of respiratory protection. Members share their opinions, disclose their research findings, and share ideas through the Society.

The ISRP Journal serves as a major forum for discussion and research, while this website provides a more direct and informal venue for members; comments and queries.
