    A properly fitted respirator of the correct type will protect you
    from silica or any other airborne dust including asbestos. The key
    words are correct type and properly fitted. A cheap dust mask is not
    going to cut it,even an N95 or N99 respirator may not be enough
    protection in some circumstances. If you work with investment you
    need to do some reading on silicosis and appropriate respiratory
    protection. Then assess your work situation before choosing the
    correct respiratory protection. There is no simple one size fits all
    solution.
