Do Medical Face Masks Protect Against Dust?
Are you looking for a mask that provides protection against dust and other hazardous particles? While medical face masks offer effective protection in certain settings, they're unable to filter out small airborne particles, like dust, gases and vapours.
Instead, dust masks and respirators are often worn in industrial and construction workplace settings where workers are exposed to dust and other hazardous substances. Read on to learn more about the difference between these types of masks and the importance of respiratory protection in high-risk workplaces.

Medical masks and respirators are designed to provide protection against droplets of bodily fluids, viral transmission and infectious airborne particles. But the effectiveness of a mask or respirator is only as good as its size and fit.
