Dust Mask P1, P2 Ratings

Hey guys,

I went into Bunnings to get some dust marks (the disposable type), and saw all the types. they have either P1 or P2 ratings. Now what is is better?

Also what should i look for and get with regards to a dust mask (aka respirator?) with the filter cartridges?

I can't afford a power respirator, which is y i m looking into these cheaper options.
I am only using the masks to protect myself from dust, when using my TS and general woodworking. I am mostly concerned with MDF dust.

Cheers
:)
