## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is the 3M 8200 a real N95?
Yes. It is NIOSH approved as an N95 particulate respirator under approval number TC-84A-4271, so it filters at least 95% of non-oil airborne particles and carries an Assigned Protection Factor of 10.

### Does the 8200 have an exhalation valve?
No. The 8200 is an economical unvalved cup respirator. It keeps the design simple and lightweight, so exhaled air passes back out through the filter media rather than a valve.

### What jobs is the 8200 good for?
It is built for dusty work such as sanding, drywall cutting, sweeping, sawing, wood working, fiberglass insulating, yard work, grinding and dusting, and helps filter pollen, mold spores and allergens. Do not use it for gases, vapors, oil aerosols, asbestos, lead or abrasive blasting.

### Does it use ear loops or head straps?
Head straps. Two stretchable headbands are stapled to the cup and go over the head and behind the neck, which keeps pressure off your ears during long wear.
