Masks and Respirators
Please read Study Says Carbon Filters Ineffective for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity http://thetruthaboutmcs.blogspot.com/2007/07/study-says-carbon-filters-ineffective.html
Still, every Canary I know wears a carbon filter mask and finds they do help, while respirators are made from toxic materials. I love my mask. The article lists sites for respirators:

Activated Carbon Filter Masks
I CAN BREATHE honeycomb carbon http://www.icanbreathe.com This is what most people I know use. Some buy the silk asthma mask and the activated carbon filters.
Handmade, silk or organic cotton, children’s size available, 3 different types of activated carbon filters, ties or covered elastic by Sandra DenBraber, R. N. I use the silk tie masks. I’m too skin sensitive for the other brands. Cotton ones are pretty thick cotton, the silk is easier for being heard. As they are hot, I always have another to switch to if I’m sweating.
