   Anyone want to recommend an elastomeric half-mask respirator with source control and replaceable filters? Got a flight and in-person event coming up.

     @uint8_t I'm having a little trouble understanding the filters for the Advantage 900. It seems like the P2 filters are appropriate if you're looking to minimise spread of airborne viruses? It doesn't equate them to P95/P100 or other standards I'm familiar with.

     Their literature is a little vague on how long the filters last

     If you have more thoughts on any of that, I would be keen to know!

     @annika MSA Advantage 900
     but it’s hard to get in Europe. If source control isn’t needed, I’d go for the 3M HF-800SD (or just tape a surgical mask on its exhaust valve)

     What I have learned today is that it's impossible to buy an elastomeric half-mask respirator with source control. Or at least one where you could have a conversation while wearing it

     @kboyd It's a pretty amusing overlap from two very different domains :blobcat_mlem:

     @annika I don't know what source control means in this context, so I'm forced to picture either a Git or Perforce mask design.

     There's probably a command for that.

     p4n95. git merge --n95. Heh.

     @annika This is what my partner and I use for travel. Expensive as all hell, but I have multiple immunocompromised family members so we’re cautious. https://cleanspacetechnology.com/cleanspace-halo/

     You can talk through the clear half-mask and it has replaceable inbound/outbound filter elements that protect you and those around you. It’s a positive-pressure respirator w/breath-responsive motor that keeps the air fresh and cool. Always happy to share more details than would fit in this one toot!
