Hi guys....
Some good replies here! I just want to add my ten cents, because dust inhalation on messy jobs can put you hospital... So use your noggin and have a basic extraction system of some kind, or better still cut, sand and drill outdoors, so the dust is carried off quickly. (Even outdoors you should be wearing goggles + mask, of course).
... I used a simple Dimplex Air Purifier on one BIG (house restoration) job + goggles + mask + hat. (The hat can be any wooly type that traps dust before it lands in your hair. A hat also traps perspiration before it ends up in your eyes and goggles, too).
If you are working with sanders drills or saws, its basic Health & Safety to protect your eyes and lungs. There are various grades of mask around. Toolstation & Screwfix sell a (pretty affordable) range. If you're working with hazardous "particulates" (eg Asbesto), you really need to know the regs for safe removal of these materials, or just leave it to a pro. Stay safe and happy days...
