Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing an optical article, comprising mixing fullerene with a thermoplastic resin powder, pelletizing the mixture using a multiaxial extruder, and injection-molding the pellets, wherein the fullerene is fullerene having a carbon number of 70 or a derivative thereof, and has an average particle diameter of 5 ?m or less. An object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a lens suitable in sunglasses or anti-glare spectacles which reduces blue hazard, and by which a blue signal can be confirmed visually, and an optical filter, and an optical article which can cut at least a part of visible light of 380 to 500 nm.

Abstract: A respiratory protection apparatus has a face body, and a right side and a left side of a vertical centerline of the body are respectively provided with filtering devices each of which houses an electrical fan unit therein. Without narrowing the field of the front vision, without increasing the front side weight, and without deteriorating the work efficiency and comfortable fitting, the apparatus ensures the air flow rate of more than 120 liters per minute. Moreover, the electrical fan unit may be detachable from the face body, so that the face body is easily washed and parts are readily replaced with new ones.
