Does this actually filter toxic air like a normal gas mask/respirator?

No it does not Filter toxic air! This is a novelty for cos play or dress up. I am a responder at work. I bought this for my wife who does photography and some of her clients like cosplay!

Nope, it doesn't - it's more a style or fun article.... But looks pretty spectacular !

I'm not sure if it will immediately reduce the smell. It works great to filter air but I'm not sure about concentrated off gassing.

Yes. We do offer specialty filters which are designed specifically for odor, smoke, or allergies.

Well this kind of respirator is meant to be used when working with chemical fumes, but I'd say even with the prefilter pads you are good to go. Maybe add the Organic Vapor filter to add something on top of that. Hope that helps.

It does not block odors. It is a particle filter mask and odors can travel as molecules combined with air thus this filter will not catch them.Try the filters from Wein I think is the name. These are designed for disaster relief workers and will filter much better than the mask you are asking about. The cost is several times more and the masks are usually replaced each day.

Yes it does. I tried carbon filters, ionizers and many others. I tested this with the local health department, and ALL of the fluoride was removed. This is the ideal unit to remove this toxic chemical.

No...This mask comes with "Particulate" filters. You will need to purchase "Organic Vapor" filters for this 3M 6000 series mask.

I don't feel the ST70 does a good job filtering the air for dust of any kind except in the close vicinity of the unit. It is really only a small ozone generator and does do a good of freshing the air. I have the unit in a large walk in closet (8' x 12') that does not have forced air circulation and I still get dust accumulation on my clothes.

I don't think this would be a good filter for paint fumes or smoke, I use this for work daily to protect me from drywall dust when we sand. Sometimes we are sanding and the next unit over the painters are painting and I can smell a slight hint of paint

They filter particles as low as 4-5 microns. When I was in S. Korea I observed people wearing dust mask and these 3-M mask and filters are 1000 times better. Also the mask fits closer to the face with not gaps/openings.Loyd

I would say no. Respirators that claim vapor filtering have activated carbon/charcoal cartridges.

It's designed for particulate matter. Vapors and gaseous fumes require a different class respirator. Certainly won't be a disposable one....

To keep dust and mold out of my system I used the pink circle filters (3M Tekk P100 Particulate Filter with Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Release) and it worked wonderfully--much better fitting and much better working than those disposable masks. If you have allergies or asthma or got really irritated lungs/nose/throat the last time, I would recommend this for the next time.Others have mentioned more detailed specs on the 3M website. (Your second question, I don't have a response for.)

Yes, the system is a turbine filtration blower and a mask with a hose. Now if you are sensitive to odors there is not much filtration besides dust. The benefit of this unit is to place the turbine outside and wear the mask inside where one is painting or working around fumes.

Assuming that your fumes are organic vapors from diesel or gasoline--this should work just fine. This is also protect from any allergens from the lawn/grass cuttings. P100 filters protect from gas & vapors as well as from particulates, mold, bacteria. Great filter. Fits on both half mask and full face mask.

No, but I only used it one season and then never bothered with it again. Next year's tag sale item! I thought it was too big, and the filter never really seemed to need cleaning. I bought it to remove particulate matter - smoke - that might get into the house from using the fireplace in the winter, but I don't think it's really made for that.

Good Morning! No I am sorry to say it only clears the air directly under your nose. For other areas I use the Holmes air purifier. I love the way they work and they are extremely affordable. Due to breathing and allergy issues we never have the ozone on and we actually put tape so that we do not turn it on accidently. We have been using the original (unscented) Holmes for over 10 years and it is extremely affordable and rinse and vacuum the filter every week or two with a dust buster.
