Bushfire P2.5 Pollution, How to Block with Big Face?

I can wear disposable P2 masks fine but the masks aren't air tight on my partner because of his big nose.

Does anyone know of a good P2/N95 mask place where we can test face fit in Sydney?

Any good bargains on the masks?

If anyone is interested in the pollution readings:

  • Go to any tool shop like, Bunnings, Total Tools, Sydney Tools etc. I've yet to see a place that lets you test them out. If you want an air tight seal go for a proper respirator with replaceable filters. the disposable ones never seal 100%

  • 3M half face / full face respirators come in 3 sizes, S, M, L. (I suspect a L will fit).

    If you want to get fit tested you need to find a occupational hygienist.

    Edit, reading again if you find a 3M distributor you may be able to see how big they are in person.
