The filters on all CPAP machines are a joke. Most are barely N95 and everything but particulate matter pass through. You'll still breath in smoke, smell, chemicals, formaldahyde, toxins etc with stock apnea filters. It's a pain in the ass wearing a respirator when awake but there's ZERO downsides using a respirator filter connected to you cpap machine when you sleep. Anyone with allergies and asthma could greatly benefit from what I'm posting below.

I printed out a 3D filter cover that's reshaped to attach 3M P100 2297 respirator filters.

Looks like this and just twists on and off. https://ibb.co/hBs1fcF

Here they are on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Advanced-Particulate-2297-Filters/dp/B009POHH94?th=1&psc=1 $5 each. You could use almost and Respirator any filter you want if you can get it to attach to your machine but the 2297 and 2291 have a much higher flow rate with much less air restriction so that there's no added load on the machine . http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/572482O/2200-advanced-particulate-filter.pdf?fn=2200SeriesSellSheet-70-0714-8863

The advantages of a 3M 2297 are about +10 times the filtering surface area so there's no added restriction to your machine and they don't let anything into your machine. They are P100 +++ and block 99.97% of air board particulates and also use Carbon in the filter so they block inorganic Vapors, smoke (like all the fires in CA), formaldehyde fumes and chemicals. Even ozone. Before I made my custom 3D printed filter cover. I just cut the plastic mount off the 2297 filter and double side taped it to my machines filter cover.

If I get some interest I could make a bunch of 3d printed filter covers so that you can attach 3M respirators to your apnea machines. Let me know if anyone's interested. A a quick test if you want to try. You could also stick your apnea machine in a sealed cardboard box with a one or more respirator filters as the vent ports allowing only filtered air into your apnea machine.

That respirator is this model exactly: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Respirator-6300-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B007QY8X2K/ (3M 6000 series half-facepiece respirator)

It comes in 3 sizes (model numbers in parenthesis). Small (6100) /Medium (6200) /Large (6300). Small fits my tiny girlfriend very well. I wear a medium and have an average to largeish head. Small is a pale grey, medum is medium gray, and large is almost black.

This model in particular is made of a TPU plastic which is... not that comfortable, to be honest. Wearing it for a couple hours will leave you with marks on your face (ridge of nose primarily) that take a day or two to go away.

For a few dollars more you can get the 7500 series, which is miles more comfortable because of the silicone face seal: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Facepiece-Respirator-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B008MCUT86/

Then all you need is a pair of replaceable filters, which you should purchase based upon your work or the potential hazards wherever you are exploring.

For most UrbEx type situations i'd imagine a P100 filter will suffice (P means oil and non oil particulate and 100 is the percent it filters out - realistically its 99.97%, but close enough... don't risk your health with anything lower than 100).

These are my favorite particulate filters (high flow and nuisance organic vapor releif): https://www.amazon.com/3M-Advanced-Particulate-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHH94/

For really sketchy stuff you'll want a combo unit which has multi-gas and particulate filters (which you shouldn't do anyway): https://www.amazon.com/3M-Cartridge-60926-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHLRC/

To summarize: So yeah, get yourself a mask that fits well and filters for the specific job/location you're doing/visiting.

I made a thread about this in another subreddit and got some good responses from u/yogabagabbedlygook who lives in the West - where we typically have our forest fires:

>I use 3M 7000 series Half-face Respirator, it's the top of the line model and is only about ~$30 US with filters if you get a good package deal.
>
>I've used a few different filters and there are notable differences and exactly what you would expect. The big bulky OV/P95 Cartridges impact breathing the most, the 3M 2297 P100 filters are a significant improvement in ease of breathing, and lastly the 3M Advanced 2291 P100 filters are the least impactful as their are purposely designed for ease of breathing. I started with them in that order and have transitioned to the 2291 filters, a vast improvement and likely more than adequate for pollution considerations. The OV/P95 Cartridges are overkill and are what professional painters and chemists use, plus they're more expensive.

Ah, good question. I use 3M 7000 series Half-face Respirator, it's the top of the line model and is only about ~$30 US with filters if you get a good package deal.

I've used a few different filters and there are notable differences and exactly what you would expect. The big bulky OV/P95 Cartridges impact breathing the most, the 3M 2297 P100 filters are a significant improvement in ease of breathing, and lastly the 3M Advanced 2291 P100 filters are the least impactful as their are purposely designed for ease of breathing. I started with them in that order and have transitioned to the 2291 filters, a vast improvement and likely more than adequate for pollution considerations. The OV/P95 Cartridges are overkill and are what professional painters and chemists use, plus they're more expensive.

Yes, you will get lots of condensation buildup, but I don't find that to be too problematic.

I don’t know I usually see them used interchangeably.

I have this one: 3M Advanced Particulate Filter, 2297, P100 (Pack of 2 Filters) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009POHH94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tr03CbED30NBD

P100 + “nuisance level” odor protection which I think means protects from minor odors / gasses but not at all sufficient for real gas / odor protection.

You can get separate filters to attach to the same mask for strong gas / oil / chemical protection (I think you need the right kind for the right chemical) so for a cheap mask it’s comfortable and accepts all kinds of filters.

They sell it as “disposable” but I’ve had mine for over a year.

Thanks for the response. My company will reimburse me for respirator stuff but I didn't know that when I initially bought it so I'll have to see if they can do it without the receipt which is long gone. Did you mean this purple one? I was going to get these ones:

https://www.amazon.com/3M-Advanced-Particulate-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B009POHH94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487640450&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3m+2297

Would these be the best option for silica/floor dust?

u/GreatCatch · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Yay! I hope your life gets better from your plans :)

Helping people online makes me happy. I also like cat gifs, movies, my cats, homemade gluten-free baking, and reading :)

These mask filters would help me.

If you are welding galvanized metal (such as exhaust pipe) make sure you wear a proper respirator
