I've been wearing a surgical mask on top of a valved N99 some of the time. That seems to satisfy. Maybe I could put more serious filtration material over the valve though.
I would like to find some affordable PAPR's (powered air purifying respirators). I see a number of places claiming to make them, but none seem that actually available to buy.
It might be interesting to measure the amount of CO2 inside a mask after a person has been wearing it for a while. There are some differences between mask types, but I don't know if any would appear between mask brands and models. Here is a study where they tested some masks that way:

I have a CO2 sensor on order from Adafruit and while try doing some tests like this myself when I can.
- creato 5y agoI don't see how CO2 or any other exhaled gasses could possibly be an issue if the volume of air inside the mask is significantly smaller than the volume of a breath, which it is by a large factor.
