Re: Smoke Filter / Mask - Volcano Ash When St Hellens blew it's top in 1980 my home town got 6" of ash. We used the satandard run of the mill 3M dust mask by the box. We would go through about 5 a day if you spent lots of time outside, and it also depended on how much you sewated. Because they sucked when they got sweat soaked. For transit if you worked inside 1-2 masks per day. They obviously worked due to me having no negative effects from using them during the event and the year long cleanup effort that it took to get rid of all that crap. We had to basicly dig "grave' size holes in our yard and then fill them with the ash we had swept up. My family was not outside durring the actual ash shower we hunkered down indoors till the ash had stopped falling and had settled. as I recall people caught outside used their sleve or hankerchief till they got indoors and they did that pronto because the ash was kind of hot and we had origonally thought it was a Russian nuke at the time. Dont laugh too hard it was the 80's and tentions were high plus we lived at hanfords back door and the ash set off every civil defence radiac in the area. We did not know till the hanford guys said it was not fallout and that it was a volcano. One thing that you will not be ready for is how dark it got it was 3pm in mid May and it blacker than the darkside of the moon. Lights did not help because they could not penetrate the ash so people had to grope around like Hellen Keller till they found shelter. Hope that helped.
