Additional lists of National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health-approved N95 respirators are provided by the Centers for Disease Control at https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/n95list1.html. Notably, cellulose-containing N95 respirators are often incompatible with hydrogen peroxide-based decontamination methods, such as the Battelle Critical Care Decontamination System (https://www.battelle.org/docs/default-source/commercial-offerings/industry-solutions/battelle-ccds-n95-guidance.pdf)
