Question 1

Does this filter out cigarette smoke?  how about pot smoke?  does the plastic have any smell/odor?  is it safe for mcs?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried this around smoke.  Whether something is safe for someone with MCS really just depends on the person.  But I have pretty extreme MCS and I would say it is quite good. I did need to let it air out some when it came, but I have an EXTREMELY sensitive nose.  It didn't smell like a fragrance, latex, or anything like that.  Just a slight (and not very offensive) "new" smell, but it was very mild compared to most similar things.  After wearing it I can smell it on my face, but again, it's very minor.  I like this mask a lot.  My biggest issue is respiratory fatigue trying to pull air through it.  I also have a neuromuscular disease that weakens my respiratory muscles.  So masks are challenging for me, due to that.  This is the best more heavy-duty mask I've found so far.  I use a more light duty mask from Home Depot for daily things like dusting, or being outdoors around things that bother me.  I think this mask has potential for trying to go places in it, but I haven't tried it yet.  I've been doing short wears around my home and property, trying to build up my respiratory muscles enough that I can wear it for a more extended time period - like a trip out somewhere. Right now I can do about 20 to 30 minutes in it, on a good day. Keep in mind my respiratory weakness, I don't think a normal person would have that trouble. But 20-30 minutes is not enough for a trip out (I live in a rural area so there is more travel time).  I think it has real potential for working in a situation like that though.  My biggest concern would be getting the fragrances and exposures off of me, my hair, etc. *after* I was home and took the mask off.  But I am the most sensitive person you'd probably ever meet, and I think this is a good mask.  I really do.  I let it air out for probably 2 weeks or so, before I actually tried wearing it - just to be on the safe side.  Everyone is different, but I was pleased with my purchase and I think it's worth giving a try.

Question 2

Does this mask protect lungs against black mold spores?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this mask protects the lungs from black mold spores, as well as any non-painted metals.

Question 3

Can this be used for wuhan or corona virus?

Accepted Answer

It won't block submicron virus particles, bit it will block droplets, which will greatly reduce your viral load.

Question 4

Will this protect me against glue fumes like E6000 and Gorilla Glue?

Accepted Answer

I use this mask when welding and think it works well, at least I don't feel the smell of welding fumes. However, I can't comment whether the mask could be efficient against other organic fumes.
