According to 3M, all filter respirators will allow some vapors to migrate into the breathing chamber.. (through the mask and into your lungs). The fact that you may not smell the fumes does not mean that you are getting 100% clean air. Many of the most toxic fumes are not even detectable by smell. These types of charcoal filters can remove the odors, but not the most toxic fumes, lulling you into believing that you are being protected, while you are not. It is recommended that the cartridges be replaced after EVERY painting shift if using these types of respirators with the more (toxic) paints and chemicals.

It's blocking paint fumes for me, so it probably would block other chemical smells.

Yes, I am allergic to many cleaners and the odors really bother my lungs & head. I use the mask with any cleaning involving cleaners, dusting & vacuuming.

Hi, I use my mask for dust mostly,, It does have a charcoal filter in there so it may do pretty good , if the stink isn't too bad..

This mask would be better than nothing. I'm no sure that any mask could stop chemical odors unless you had a separate air supply. This whole genre of masks are for dust and air borne particles of paints and chemicals. You would still get some fumes, although it would block out most of the tiny droplets. For the money, this will be your safest alternative unless your ready for hazmat procedures.

Yes. This has turned out to be a very handy little filter. We've been using it in the living room and have it set up behind our flat screen TV, which is still giving off plastic odors. My wife takes it to work occasionally for meetings so she can breathe despite all the perfumes, colognes, etc. We also have 2 IQ purifiers, one for bedroom and one for office... but despite the wheels, they are not very portable. This little Aireox is a great little unit.

Yes! As a deodorizer, I use along with my washing soap to get odors out when necessary

I have sensitivities to chemical odors and they do not work for me. These are mostly for filtering submicron particles such as dust and pollen. If you want to filter chemical odors you need something with charcoal in it. I use "Air-Aid" Emergency masks. They are lightweight and have charcoal embedded in the fibers. They are use by police and fire departments and have been tested against chemical and biological weapons. Since I am very chemically sensitive I layer 2 masks on top of each other, but they work for me. Hope this helps.

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

it depends on which type of filter you get for the mask. There are different grades of filters that are intended for different purposes, depending on what type of work you are doing. There are filters you can buy that will filter out gases and lead particulate.

If it is the MSA Safety brand, then yes, they will. I bought the mask with the dust only filters, then bought these exact filters you are referring, and they work great. -PK

No, I believe there are cartridges or filters you can purchase separately for attachment to this mask that would be suitable for working with such chemicals.

This respirator accepts a wide range of filters to address many environmental factors, from dust particles to pesticides. Choose the appropriate filter and pre-filters for your specific situation.

You can buy different filters that fit the mask. I have used the 3M 2091 in a dusty woodworking environment and have been very pleased with the results. Here is a blurb from the product sheet for the 2091 filter: "* OSHA substance specific particle exposures: - Lead -Asbestos -Cadmium -Arsenic - 4,4' Methylenedianiline (MDA)". Another filter is the 2097, which provides relief from particulates and organic vapors. Just do a Google search on 3M 2091 or 3M 2097, but it looks like you should be protected. I love my mask. Good luck.

yes, you have a choice of using the washable foam prefilter, OR a disposable carbon prefilter that also filters out odors. the main filter is permanent and washable.

Have spoken to a representative from Aquasana....they mentioned it filters out "VOCs and SOCs, herbicides, pesticides, industrial solvents, heavy metals such as lead, mercury. Also the by-products of chlorination trihalomehtanes and haloacetic acids"

I have only used this in the laundry. It really removes odors but leaves a light pleasant fresh smell. I do not like scented detergents. It is a non-clorine bleach, so you could probably use it in the way you would use Clorox, but I don't think it has the same sanitizing properties as a clorine bleach.

The mask can be used for gas filtration however what is also important isthetype of cartridge. If you are goin to use gas please use the 3m cartridge multi gas part no. 60926. It is recommended for most types of gases. Also please refer to 3m website for further information. Hope this is helpful. My husband uses it for staining wooden furniture and the smell does not affect him.

yes, I believe it will. Most mold spores are 10-30 microns in size. This filter removes particles down to .3 microns.

We have not had specific feedback on Glade products but quite often chlorine dioxide (odor wrecker) will neutralize the masking agent produced by these type of air fresheners.
