I see a few on here have n95 gas mask.  Is that something that most of you have ?  If so what kind, where did you get them, and how much? 
Thanks
Mike

Wal-Mart, auto parts stores, home improvement stores ... they're widely available.  They filter approximately 95% of airborn particulates but are not oil resistant.  They, obviously, are not air-tight but are better than nothing in situations where the air is filled with potentially harmful particulates.
