Lead dust particles can range in size from .1 - .7 microns. N95s filter 95% of particles .3 microns and larger, but smaller than .3 it’s not going to filter enough to be considered protection.

Here’s what masks Niosh recommends for lead dust:

Only know this bc I had to have my house abated recently, but an N95 doesn’t filter out lead or asbestos! You need a P100
