Particles such as those from grinding, sanding, sweeping, sawing, bagging, or processing minerals, coal, iron
ore, flour, metal, wood, pollen, and certain other substances. Liquid or non-oil based particles from sprays
that do not also emit oil aerosols or vapors. For additional information on 3M use recommendations for this

Do Not Use For
Do not use for gases and vapors, oil aerosols, or sandblasting, unless nozzle and blast are physically
separated from the operator in an exhaust-ventilated enclosure; particulate concentrations that exceed either
10 times the occupational exposure limit or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower.* In the
U.S., do not use when the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) substance
specific standards, such as those for asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, lead in the construction industry, or 4,4'-
methylene dianiline (MDA), specify other types of respiratory protection. This respirator does not supply
oxygen.
* For Use in China: Do not use for oil based particles. Do not use for particles in concentrations that
exceed the maximum allowable concentration required by the applicable regulation and standard. The
maximum allowable concentration is obtained by multiplying the Assigned Protection Factor (APF)
provided by GB/T 18664 "Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment" and
the permissible Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of the contaminant.

Biological Particles

This respirator can help reduce inhalation exposures to certain airborne biological particles (e.g. mold,
Bacillus anthracis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc.) but cannot eliminate the risk of contracting infection,
illness or disease. OSHA and other government agencies have not established safe exposure limits for these
contaminants.
