Just read a study saying concrete dust exposure can double your lung cancer risk after 20 years
Found it in a trade safety journal from last month, and it's got me checking all our respirator filters. Anyone else seen this data or changed their PPE routine because of it?

Our site switched to P100 filters last year after a similar study.

Yeah, @the_jenny, that makes total sense. I mean, one thing I never see people talk about is how the fit changes with those heavier filters. Like, the P100 is great, but it can pull the mask down on one side if you're not careful, so you gotta really check the seal every time. Maybe it's just me but I had to switch to a headstrap style instead of ear loops to make it work right.
