As far as I can tell, it comes with no filters and no information about which ones it employs, so what filters does it employ?

Is there any protection from shoe glue with this mask? My nephew works in a shoe factory, where he is constantly exposed to glue. ?

Yes, if it works for epoxy, it should work for glue as well. As long as you've got the right filters in place. It's okay if they're a gaudy pink.

Has anyone tried wearing these masks outside when the air is thick with smoke? Is putting it on simple? Is wearing it on your face comfortable?

I have one that I use to airbrush my craft items, but I've never used it on fir smoke. I can tell you that I had to order a small size, which I had tried before with another company. This mask is extremely comfortable to wear, has a good fit, and is simple to take off. Because I have arthritis in my hands, the neck straps can be difficult to connect at times. I'm very pleased with this mask in general.

Great item, provides 100% protection against CoVid when used with the correct filter
5/5

PS: This is merely a respirator, and you must purchase the appropriate filters to use it; otherwise, it will be useless. br>br>I purchased this 3M 6100 half-face respirator (SMALL) to protect myself from CoVid. Aabaco Environmental is a 19-year-old company based in Aabaco, Brazil Working with them is a pleasure.

Liberation is something that must be earned rather than something that can be given
5/5

Have you ever wondered how it feels to take a deep, cleansing breath of fresh, poisonous gas? Thanks to the good seal of the 3m half-pipe, you won't have to. a mask for the face If you don't use some 3m organic vapor cartridges with this bad boy, it won't do much to protect your sweet little lungs. The carriages with the pink particulate filters are the best, but the carriages on their own will suffice. br>br>Combine with impact-resistant goggles and a helmet (and, if you don't want to ruin your skin and hair, a lycra balaclava) and you'll be ready to face down your oppressors head-on. on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on br>br>Please keep in mind that this is a small size; if you aren't a petite lady/person like me, this may not be enough to keep you safe. br>br>My friends, stand firm.

For smoke from wildfires Covid's situation isn't good
5/5

Because of the exhalation valve, I was able to reach the age of 19. I live in Northern California and suffer from asthma. This is what I'm wearing. Indoors, use a face mask with particulate filters. When wildfire smoke is present (as it is today, August 19, 2020). If you're going to Covid, this is the outfit to wear. You must wear a fabric Covid-style shirt if you are under the age of 19. 19 Over the respirator, put on a mask. Why? Because the respirator has an exhalation valve in the middle that allows you to exhale, but that valve has no filter. It's possible that you're suffering from Covid. 19 but be asymptomatic (i. e. , have no symptoms and thus are unaware that you have Covid- 19), after which you will disseminate the Covid- 19 by way of the exhalation valve. As a result, make sure you're dressed in some sort of Covid-related attire. When you're out in public, wear a 19 fabric mask instead of a 3M respirator.

It must have arrived, but it appears that it did not! br>It was never mentioned in the description that the filters were not included, and that I would have to wait until September to order one, or pay twice as much and get it in 20 days.

Yes
5/5

Several nurses I know, including myself, use these to care for congenital heart disease patients. This is extremely relaxing. It is simple to breathe. No, it does not include filters; you will need to purchase them separately. It works with every filter I've tried so far. Yes, it was tried on. It's perfect, and it's a great price. I'd definitely recommend it.

THE USE OF A FILTER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED

At the very least, one filter should be included.

I needed this because I was getting tired of the fumes from painting several rooms in my house
4/5

The fumes are no longer detectable! The mask, on the other hand, has a peculiar odor (plastic?). That's to be expected, I suppose.
