3MOrganic Vapor Performance Cartridge, 3 Pairs, For Use With 3M 6000, 6500 & 7500 Series Facepieces, NIOSH-APPROVED OV For Use Against Certain Organic Vapors, Easy-To-Attach Design (6001P3-DC)

Through the course of my employment, I have occasionally had to work with decomposing bodies. Anyone who has experienced it knows exactly what the very strong and terrible smell is like. After a particularly bad experience, I finally decided to try a respirator. I tried these cartridges, as decomposition is organic and these are rated for organic odors. I tried them at the next opportunity that presented itself. They worked amazingly. The only time I caught the odor is when I occasionally moved the wrong way and caused a small break in the seal of the mask. As long as the mask has a solid tight seal, these work perfectly. I’d highly recommend these cartridges for Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, Medical Examiners, and anyone else who needs to work in those conditions.

Use these for pretty much everything. It might be a bit overkill for some applications but they seem to last a pretty long time. They're designed for painting / VOCs, but work super well for dust as well. I used both these on a respirator and a N95 for some recent demolition work, and the 95 had a bit of dust build up around the sides near the mouth (I have some slight facial hair, which seems to create a small gap for n95 masks). Switched over to these and no problem / no dust around the face. Great product, and certified quality.

Unlike the pre-filters and retainers, we only use 3M for our actual cartridges. We work in attics and crawlspaces every day doing insulation work and clean healthy air is a must for employee safety. With the combination of pre-filters we are able to get almost a month out of a pair of cartridges so the value over time is exceptional. For those who may consider an off brand, don't do it. It's not worth the risk.Another important thing, do not buy this type of filter with the built in pre-filter as it will not last nearly as long. Since you cannot replace a built in pre-filter you will maybe get a week out of it if used for a normal work week. This filter with the option for a separate pre-filter is the way to go.

I used these to do a lot of painting with two part epoxy clear coat and other toxic automotive paints. I didn’t smell anything and I did not die.

Son perfectos, tal como los que vienen cuando uno compra la mascara

I dread cleaning the bathroom and especially soap scum from the shower. My previous method was to just scrub the glass profusely with soft scrub until the soapy film was gone but since having some carpel tunnel pain, I just can't do that anymore. I've also tried using a drill with an attached scrub brush, but that's kind of hit or miss, hard on the wrists and messy.Lately, I've been using a soap scum/calcium descaling clean spray. It works very well, but the smell is SOOO BAD that I'm sure it can't be safe to inhale for more than a few seconds if at all.So I bought a few of these filters for other around the house work, but decided to try it with the 3M half-face respirator (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF7RBS4) for cleaning the shower and IT IS AMAZING! With the respirator on and these filters, there's ZERO odor, just fresh air. I can now spray the glass, open the windows, turn on the vent and let the bad stuff do it's job for 30 minutes then come back with the respirator and filters on and gently scrub away the scum.
