> but not with the actual toxic fumes?

3M 8577 has a bonus carbon layer for this purpose. Its protection is not complete, but can limit the damage. You should also carry spares in case the carbon layer is exhausted.

The mask itself starts to smell. You will start sneezing and also dripping from the nose, but this will stop if you remove or replace the mask.

Also, you start to smell the diesel fumes. The more you wear a clean mask, the more sensitive your nose becomes to mild fumes.
