Review: Clean air - Works well for my application
Review: Best in the business, period. - They're not just super light weight, their the best in the business. I'm a metal worker who likes to always be well protected when I'm grinding metal. Essentially nothing of consequence gets through these. Once you make the switch to these filters, you probably won't want to use anything else ever again. They completely humiliate competing products from even the most reputable welding companies in the world. I know this from direct experience welding and grinding metal. My nose, knows. 3M's own 2297 filters are supposed to be more advanced, but though they are easier to breath through, they don't filter as well when the air gets really filthy. Also, beware of the many knockoff, fake 2097 filters that pretend to be P100 but have no NOISH approval. They look very similar and will fit 3M's masks but they are useless garbage when it comes to actual filtration. They are basically a scam.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will these work for airborne diseases ?**
A: A lot of these responses state that N/P 95/100 ratings are "down to 0.03um", which shows that they have no idea what they're talking about.  The NIOSH testing rates the filter effectiveness AT 0.03um, not DOWN TO 0.03um. It has been found that 0.03um sized particles are where filters are least effective. The filters are actually MORE effective on smaller particles (and larger as well).  That's because the filters don't work like a sieve... there's not a hole in it of a certain size  that blocks things that are larger from going through. If it worked that way, the filter would quickly become plugged and not let anything, such as air, through.

So while some of the responses are correct with references to the filter's effectiveness, they're incorrect about the reasoning on why they should or should not work.  Especially that guy that says there are smaller virii, which is irrelevant. There are statements of suitability available from the manufacturer (3M) for all these products v. the protection type required, including pathogens.

**Q: What is the difference between 2097pa1-a and 2097ha1-c?**
A: Both fit same masks and filter at 100 but the 1 with the C has Carbon in the filter. This cuts down on nuisance levels. From what I gather it's like a air purifier mixed in with filter. I always buy with carbon in case anything I am working on has bad smell or vapors that make you sick over time. The A is same without carbon and doesn't work on nuisance reduction. Took me much time on Google to get the right filters. Now I just stick to 2 this one with carbon and the one with plastic housing that is for harsher vapors. They work great and I use the half mask with the flip on off lever

**Q: I am cleaning out a basement with dust and mold/water damage issues.  How often do I need to change the filters?  Thank you for your help.**
A: Every 3M filter that I've bought came with documentation. Yes, it's rather wordy and has more information that you might need; however, in that documentation, 3M explains how to know when you need to change your filters. Basically, Smith's answer is pretty much what the 3M documentation says.

**Q: I know the 3M 2097 filter says it also filters out organic vapors, but how does the filtration level compare to the 2091 , good for lead and asbestos?**
A: They are both P100 filters "NIOSH Approved - At least 99.97% filtration efficiency" but you should check 3M's website for exact info. Link below you'll find docs and specs on each.http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/Cartridges-Filters-for-3M-Half-and-Full-Facepiece-Respirators-6000-Series-7500-Series-7800S-Series-and-FF-400-Series?N=3294355784+3294529207+8690968+5549793&rt=rud

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!
*by E***N on December 8, 2025*

I run a sharpening and restoration business, so I mainly deal with metal and abrasive dust. I also work with solvents and such, in small quantities. These filters therefore fit my needs perfectly. My respirator came with 3M's 60923 cartridges, which give full protection against most vapors and aerosols (whereas these are only "nuisance-level")...but if you don't actually need that protection, switch to these. I still don't smell anything. They breathe easier and they're much, much lighter. Weight strapped to your face is very fatiguing, so this makes a big difference in comfort if you wear a respirator for hours at a stretch as I do. And if you're working in a disposable dust mask (N95/N100) for any length of time, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a proper respirator. You'll be a lot more comfortable.
