Tools and Hardware Reviews of 3M 8210Plus Particulate Respirator N95, 20-Pack
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I think these are well made. I have no problem with the straps of which there are two. The two straps add to the tightness of the fit which is importand for these be of any help in keeping out the dust. There is also a foam pad on the inside of the nose bridge which adds to the comfort level.
I am cutting cement board in the hot sun and would rather use this style of mask as opposed to a full respirator.
Customer Review: Great for lawn mowing
Summary: 5 Stars
I use the 3M 1860 N95 respirator for mowing the lawn, and it is great. I'm allergic to the grass, as well as other debris from the lawn mower. Without a respirator (or even WITH one that doesn't filter as well) I have trouble breathing afterward. This is just the product for me.Customer Review: Great woodworking dust mask
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried at least 8 different masks. This is hands down the best. It is comfortable, the two straps provide a tight seal so dust does not leak in through the sides. Best part, no "hacking cough" after using with 220 grit power hand sander.
Unlike other reviews, I've never had a strap break, even after using hundreds of this mask.
You can tell it is working because it get dirty, unlike other masks that stay clean. In other words, all the dirt is stuff that would have gone into your lungs!

Customer Review: Health-care Workers Use Masks Rated N95
Summary: 4 Stars
3M 8210 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 would suggest this box of 30 as a good emergency supply and perhaps a better deal:3M 8000 Particle Respirator N95, 30-Pack.
