OSHA does not specify the type respirator you have to use. Don't hold me to this number, but for commercal people I believe the accepted concentration is less than 20% VOC (volatile organic compounds) including iso's. If you paint in a body shop style down draft paint booth, the a charcoal type mask may be adequate. My understanding is that a charcoal mask will filter out iso's, but only when the charcoal is brand new, and with a mask that fits perfectly and does not allow any air to be drawn in around the mask. The charcoal begins to be contaminated as soon as you open it. For that reason you will find NO manufacurer that says their mask will filter isos. If you will read the label for non-iso containing paint it will say something like "a supplied air system OR a charcoal respirator should be used". For paint containing isos it will say "Supplied air" and nothing else. Your full faced respirator will give you eye protection, but unless you have supplied air, or a paint booth that meets OSHA specs, you are NOT protected from isos once the charcoal begins to be contaminated -- and there is no test for that. 20 years or not, unless you have a 1st class immune system, you are going to have problems some day. Iso's got to me after I used them ONCE. Likely because I am sensitized to certain herbicides because I sprayed them for years with no protection. People differ in their reactions, but no one is safe.
