Wearing a mask can stop you from developing the symptoms of respiratory illness caused by inhalation of hazardous substances at work (for example, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness or difficulty in breathing).
Assuming dust generation is about 500µg/m3, the dust mask if worn appropriately has the capacity to shield more than 80% of the dust generated from getting into the nasal cavity, allowing the system to expel and metabolize the remaining 20%.
Hence, the dust mask helps prevent the development of illnesses which could affect your airways – which could reduce the quality and length of your life, and it reduces the quantity of dust that gain access into the body system and also reduces the burden on the body system to either expel the dust or metabolize it.
