It's gonna fog like a mofo.
Look, you're dealing with dust, not mist. BIG difference in particle size. Get the right filter and don't worry about supplied air. Try this, for half the price:



3M6900 Full Face Respirator Large [3M6900] - $134.95 : The Mitt & Robe Company, Head to Toe Safety
Spend the savings on a half dozen tyvek bunny suits. I worry more about skin absorption of nasties than I do breathing them in. I have a truly attractive peeling chemical burn on my waist from leaning against a rag soaked with paint thinner while caulking the rubrail of my boat. Paint thinnner! Who knew? Don't ask how it happened.

It didn't hurt the boat did it ?

I said, "Don't ask," didn't I?

No, the rag was tied to a rung of the ladder, specifically to keep it away from the finish on the boat

Don't feel too bad. I burned my butt (literally) while painting with a thinner rag in my back pocket. Then I sat in my car and hardened the leather seat with the thinner on my jeans.

Why would you spend the money on something like that when the 3M 6000 full-face respirators, like the one BLJones pointed out, are half the price or less and far more versatile IMHO.
