3M use notes for the 2296
Nuisance level refers to concentrations not exceeding the OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower. Nuisance-level relief is a 3M suggestion, not a NIOSH approval class. (3M Cartridge and Filter Summary (2024) note 2; 3M 6000 Series half facepiece user instructions Table 7 footnote 3)
For P series filters only when used in environments containing oil aerosols: Dispose of P-Series filters after 40 hours of use or 30 days, whichever is first. (3M Cartridge and Filter Guide (brochure 70-0714-8870-7))
