Airborne Hazards.
Brick Dust
Brick dust and ash contains very fine particles of
silica which can be breathed deep into the lungs
and scar the delicate tissue (silicosis); exposure
may also increase the risk of lung cancer.
Cement Dust
Some cement processes can also release very
small particles of silica which can be breathed
deep into the lungs and scar the delicate tissue
(silicosis); exposure may also increase the risk of
lung cancer.
Wood Dust
Exposure can cause occupational asthma in
some individuals as inhalation of wood dust

particles may initiate an allergic reaction causing
Particulate Respirator Particulate Respirator them to become more sensitive in the future.
Dusts from hardwoods may also cause cancers
of the nose.
Lead
Dust and fumes inhaled from industrial
processes involving lead or lead compounds
3M™ Aura™ 9312A+ 3M™ 8312 may be absorbed and circulate in your blood.
Particulate Respirator Particulate Respirator Lead can be excreted but it can also be stored
by the body. If the amount of lead in your body
is too high, it can cause symptoms such as
headaches and nausea. If uncontrolled, long
term exposure can damage vital organs.
Silica
Very small particles of silica dust, called
respirable crystalline silica, can be breathed
in and may reach deep into the lungs where it
can scar the delicate tissue (silicosis) resulting
in difficulties breathing. Long-term exposure to
crystalline silica may also increase the risk of
lung cancer.
Flour Dust
Inhalation of dust particles from flour can
cause bronchitis and irritation to the nose and
airways. In some people, exposure may cause
3M™ 9422+ 3M™ 8710 occupational asthma, wheezing or serious
Particulate Respirator Particulate Respirator breathing difficulties.
Welding
Inhalation of some metal oxides found in
welding fumes can lead to metal fume fever

coughing, headaches and fever. Exposure to

Rating

P2 is the rating given to a respirator that meets AS/NZS1716:2012 for filtering mechanically and thermally
generated particles, e.g., those from welding fume. Respirators with a P2 rating are also recommended for
use in certain applications against some bioaerosols such as H1N1 and H5N1 Influenza.
Type ‘G’ class rating is suitable for low vapour pressure (below 1.3Pa @ 25oC) organic compounds e.g. many
agricultural chemicals like herbicide and pesticide.
