I have a 3M half face mask, ( 3M 6200)  and use P95 dust filters with it.
Its a good fit and does a far better job than the one piece 'surgical' style
masks.
I find  now that I use it quite often when I previously didn't bother with a
mask.  A real boon when sweeping out my workshop.

Optional extra is charcoal filters that can be used when spray painting.

( an extra bonus of sorts is the P95 will filter the SARS virus)
