The biggest excuse I have for not wearing a respirator while I'm painting, working in the woodshop (aka:garage) or fertilizing the lawn is that it's inconvenient and I'm lazy. That's all. Paint and pesticide vapors, particulates, solvents, thinners and glue all contain harmful fumes that can cause permanent lung and brain damage. Excessive exposure to these toxins can lead to serious respiratory ailments (see: Wood Dust at www.osha.gov) so for under 30 bucks, why not protect yourself?

Cheri G. at the Toolking Superstore pointed out this fantastic safety product to me today. It's the OV R95 Respirator from AO Safety. Cheri bought one for her friend Dave Conner in NY and he said that it is "so comfortable and well sealing around his face that he is going to use it for everything". Well, maybe not everything ;0-)

Respirators are a good tool to have in your workshop and home. From wood dust to lawn allergens to pesticide mist, the OV R95 respirator from AO Safety, will help alleviate potential respirator ailments that could result from overexposure to these toxins. (see Dust Collection Systems: These Ain't Your Mama's Vacuum). You can use the OV R95 for protection against: paint and pesticide vapors, solvents, glue, thinners, particulates and mists.

While you're at it, purchase the Peltor Professional Noise Canceling Earmuff # H10A, also made by AO Safety.
