Yea, I do know that and it makes sense… but in the non- required field of exploring is it better to wear a mask with improper fit/ with a beard or does it just make matters worse or is it still better to have some coverage?
| In my opinion, it probably defeats the whole purpose. A loose fit on the neck, chin, or cheeks is going to create a siphon effect, sucking air right past the respirator. In addition to that, if you are sporting a beard, you then have thousands of hairs present, capable of collecting asbestos particles like a mop, right onto your face near your mouth and nose.

| | | Posted by Jethron Newbie question here: How do you know when you need masks? Obviously a chemical plant or paper mill requires protection, what are some other often-hazardous places? I'm going to an old coal breaker soon. Should I have a mask for that?
| I explored a paper mill recently, and went with a simple, low tech dust, mask. Granted, it was well ventilated area for the most part (those missing walls, you see...) and I was always cautious of any physical symptoms of gas inhalation, but it all depends on the location.
