Not sure what size 3M respirator mask to wear?
3M does not have an official size chart. OSHA requires all sizing be determined only by a Fit Test, which requires the user to wear the mask and perform this test. 3M does state that a Medium size mask is meant to be a "one size fits most", with few people needing a small size or a large size. Per 3M, approximately 80% of the population will fall under a medium size, as it is possible to fit in both a small and medium, or a medium and large.
