    Exclamation Looking for the correct mask

    Hello to everyone and before anything I want to apologize for my poor English. I will try to explain myself in the best way I can.

    I’m currently working in a warehouse with no ventilation. The owners are just using fans all over the place to keep the workplace cooler, because we are located in the desert of Nevada and is pretty hot during summer.

    The think is, this people use an acrylic cutting machine that is creating pieces during, maybe, 6 hours every day. Probably they don’t have a single idea about how dangerous that is, because nobody uses any kind of protection. The entire time there is an strong smell all over the place and you can see small particles of that material on some surfaces when the cutting is done. I’m absolutely sure that breathing that is toxic. So, what kind of compact mask is ok to be safe without telling them the real purpose. I’m absolutely sure that is imposible to have a dialogue with this people about the health problems that this machine could produce in the lungs. They’re been doing the same activity for 8 years using absolutely nothing in a closed small area with no ventilation at all. And they seems to be ok with that. A new worker is not going to change anything just talking, so, right now I’m concerned about my own health. Please help me with this.

    Thank you.
