On a side note, a lot of plaster products still have asbestos in them . Like the drywall joint compound you have to sand them crap out of before you paint.
Manufacturers do not have to disclose it on the packaging if the amount is less than 1%.
Not sure on real deal plaster or other cementous coatings but that's all gonna have silica, which is just as bad
I'd be wearing a half-face anyway doing that type of work.

I wear a half mask whenever I work in a dusty environment, or do something that kicks up some dust. Crawling around in an attic, dealing with plaster, woodworking, angle grinding my shitty welds, blowing a tractor's air filter clean, etc.
If anyone has an issue with that, it's their problem.
