    But wouldn’t mining and processing inevitably cause airborne particulate?

        protects you from any

        i think “mitigates the” would be more accurate here

          Weird that they call it personal PROTECTION equipment instead of mitigation equipment……

          Proper and right fitting ppe is 100% safe, so no, mitigation isn’t even a better word anyways.

        Yeah because it’s not like American mining corporations are notorious for failing to adhere to safety regulations, not providing adequate PPE and hardly ever being inspected…oh wait! That’s EXACTLY what they are!
