Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M 8000 Particle Respirator N95, 30-Pack
Customer Review: Great for protecting the respiratory system
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are going to paint, sand or use any power equipment that makes dust you should treat yourself to a box of these disposable masks. Keeps small particles out of your nose and lungs.Customer Review: Great respirator for all
Summary: 5 Stars
Works fine with dusting, sanding and doing routine work where lots of dust is involved.
Worked great while cleaning the vacuum clearer bags. Would recommend to anyone who wants dust free breathing.
Customer Review: Great respirator mask to prevent Swine Flu
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in Ensenada, Baja California, México. I got these for my family and every body is very comfortable wearing them. The only thing is to remember to wash your hands before putting and taking them off. I can recomend this product for its 3M quality and price.Customer Review: Health-care Workers Use Masks Rated N95
Summary: 5 Stars
3M 8000 N95 Particulate Disposable Respirator - the "N95" means that if the mask is properly fitted, it will filter out particles down to .3 microns 95 percent of the time. That's great for particulate matter but not sufficient against flu bugs - yet quite helpful.
The types of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses measure between .1 to .2 microns. That means that while this mask will probably stop most of the flu viruses from getting through, it is not dense enough to stop them all. That is why the product description mentions dust and particulate matter but makes no claim or mention of viruses.
Masks with a high enough efficiency rating to stop viruses are incredibly uncomfortable. I've never worn one but consider that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) advises health-care workers working with SARS patients to wear the N95 mask - same rating as this one. Even the CDC does not expect people to function at work wearing masks with super high efficiency ratings. Therefore I'm not getting a superior rated mask because they are immediately uncomfortable and I might not be able to function wearing one. Health-care workers will be wearing masks rated N95.
The N95 masks are also valued because viruses often travel on bigger molecules such as molecules that contain mucus. N95 will stop all of those.
I'm satisfied with the 3M N95 masks and the box of 30 is a good emergency supply.

I am totally at ease when encountering folks using my local wash as cover during their trip north.
