Hi Bob,
Check out Lab Safety, http://www.labsafety.com They have a very large selection of respirators and filters. Don't bother with the paper dust mask Ian suggested. They don't seal around your face and They DON"T WORK. Almost all filters used for fumes will filter out dust just as well. Dust particles are a larger particulate then that of fumes from chemicals. The only thing is they will clog sooner from dust. Lab Safety specializes in protective equipment and they should be able to point you in the right direction for the proper filter.
