There is no truth, Only a perspective.

| | | Posted by Shawn W. You will. There's a thread here that was started by a UER member who described how messed up his health is because he failed to wear a respirator during his explorations. Look it up.
| Yeah, i've read through that thread. That really sucks for dude, but i don't explore nearly as much as he did, and i don't normally find myself places with excessive mold, asbestos, etc. for long periods of time. Also, alcohol kills bacteria, so there's always that.

| | | Posted by terapr0 interesting. Never had that happen before Also as an FYI, those 3M 60923 filter cartidges are for organic vapor / acid gas - not particulates such as asbestos / mold spores. Of course they're better than nothing, but they're not designed to catch the particulates you're being exposed to. Those are painting filters. Next time you go to replace them look for 3M 2097 P100 filters, they're much better for UE related unpleasantness and probably cheaper than the OV ones.
| I'm not an expert, so correct me if I'm wrong, but the P100 designation is all that matters. P100 is the OSHA rating for the fiber-spacing in the filter, and as long as it's P100 it will filter out mold / lead / asbestos. In the case of my masks, yes, they are carbon canisters for organic vapor, such as ammonia, chlorine / acid gas. The carbon canisters do expire, but the P100 never expires - only gets more and more clogged until harder to breathe through. So, my masks ARE OSHA P100 approved, and just have the bonus of protecting against organic vapor for the first ~2 months of their life. At least that's how I understand it.
