If you need (or anticipate needing) to protect yourself from poor-quality air, keeping a respirator mask on hand makes sense. When outdoor air quality is compromised by particulate matter—solid and liquid debris that can be inhaled and cause health problems—staying inside as much as possible is the best thing you can do, and using HEPA filters in your home can make a big difference. But if you must go out, wearing a respirator mask that seals securely to your face and filters particulate matter can help keep you safe.
After 50 hours of research and testing, we’re confident that the 3M 8516 N95 Particulate Respirator is the best disposable respirator mask and the 3M Rugged Comfort Quick Latch Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6501QL/49488 is the best reusable respirator. When the air quality is dangerous, though, your first line of defense should be to minimize your time outside and to use an air purifier inside your home.
