Where can i find asbestos respirator masks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most building stores: The proper respirator to protect against asbestos is a p100. Those are easy to find, but they need to be properly fit tested to offer protection. You also need to keep in mind that proper clothing has to be used along with procedures to minimize dust. The right and safe thing to do is to get certified in asbestos removal.
