Hi,
What can we call the kind of clothing which we wear to protect our face from dust/smoke? (Like the ones in these pictures:)

Hi Nessie

You can also call those “anti-pollution masks”, “smog masks”, “dust masks” or just “surgical masks”.
“anti-polution mask”
“smog mask”
“dust mask”
“surgical mask”
