A respiratory device comprising: a respirator body which covers face and mouth of a wearer to form a relatively closed area sealed from ambient air; at least one first filter integrally disposed in the respirator body for filtering inhaled air; and at least one active venting system functionally affixed to the internal surface of the respirator body wherein the active venting system operates to vent air from the respirator body, wherein the active venting system comprises a housing comprising: a power source; a blower coupled to the power source; and an electronic device or a printed circuit board coupled to the blower, the blower is a micro-fan and is turned on or off by the electronic device or printed circuit board to vent exhaled air from the respirator body into the atmosphere, the blower allows active air exchange and to vent air into the atmosphere from within the respirator body, the electronic device or the printed circuit board triggers control signals for the blower, and an air guide surrounding the nose and mouth region of the wearer to channel and separate exhaled air and inhaled air, characterized in that the air guide is circular in shape and is attached to the inner side of the respirator body, the active venting system is positioned within the circumference of the air guide, the air guide is positioned at an angle inclined with respect to an ergonomic facial profile; and the air guide is positioned so that at least one gap exists between the air guide and the base of the respirator body to allow excess exhaled air to escape in case the excess exhaled air is not vented through the active venting system. a respirator body which covers face and mouth of a wearer to form a relatively closed area sealed from ambient air; at least one first filter integrally disposed in the respirator body for filtering inhaled air; and at least one active venting system functionally affixed to the internal surface of the respirator body wherein the active venting system operates to vent air from the respirator body, wherein the active venting system comprises a housing comprising: a power source; a blower coupled to the power source; and an electronic device or a printed circuit board coupled to the blower, the blower is a micro-fan and is turned on or off by the electronic device or printed circuit board to vent exhaled air from the respirator body into the atmosphere, the blower allows active air exchange and to vent air into the atmosphere from within the respirator body, the electronic device or the printed circuit board triggers control signals for the blower, and an air guide surrounding the nose and mouth region of the wearer to channel and separate exhaled air and inhaled air, characterized in that the air guide is circular in shape and is attached to the inner side of the respirator body, the active venting system is positioned within the circumference of the air guide, the air guide is positioned at an angle inclined with respect to an ergonomic facial profile; and the air guide is positioned so that at least one gap exists between the air guide and the base of the respirator body to allow excess exhaled air to escape in case the excess exhaled air is not vented through the active venting system. a power source; a blower coupled to the power source; and an electronic device or a printed circuit board coupled to the blower, the blower is a micro-fan and is turned on or off by the electronic device or printed circuit board to vent exhaled air from the respirator body into the atmosphere, the blower allows active air exchange and to vent air into the atmosphere from within the respirator body, the electronic device or the printed circuit board triggers control signals for the blower, and an air guide surrounding the nose and mouth region of the wearer to channel and separate exhaled air and inhaled air, characterized in that the air guide is circular in shape and is attached to the inner side of the respirator body, the active venting system is positioned within the circumference of the air guide, the air guide is positioned at an angle inclined with respect to an ergonomic facial profile; and the air guide is positioned so that at least one gap exists between the air guide and the base of the respirator body to allow excess exhaled air to escape in case the excess exhaled air is not vented through the active venting system.
