No. The P100 or HEPA filters
commonly used for asbestos
abatement do not reduce exposure to
the VOCs that are produced by mold.
In order to reduce exposure to both
mold spores and VOCs, 3M recom-
mends a particulate filter with either
nuisance-level organic vapor relief
or an organic vapor cartridge.
Can I use the same filters for
mold remediation that I use for
asbestos abatement?
Not by itself. Because mold can
be irritating to the eyes, the EPA
allows the use of half facepiece respirators
for remediation of contaminated areas up
to 100 square feet only when used with
non-vented goggles. Since full facepiece
respirators may be used for mold
remediation jobs of all sizes, they are
a simple solution for both respiratory
and eye protection.
During abatement work, I wear
a half facepiece respirator. Can I
use it for mold remediation too?
