Standards for fine dust masks
P1
For solid, harmful fibrogenic particles
(Fine dust up to 4 times the MAK value) e.g. E.g.: textile fibre, marble, sulphur, silicic acid
P2
For solid, smoky, low-toxic particles
(Substances up to 10 times the MAK value) e.g. E.g.: carbon, copper, aluminium, tin, cotton, metal, textile fibres, manganese, welding fumes, sulphur
P3
For toxic particles
(to avoid exceeding it, filters of this protection level should be used, up to 30 times the MAK value) e.g. E.g.: chromium, nickel, lead
