depends on the type of abrasive, but I've used an organic filter respirator for silica...you do not want to get that in your respiratory system. other more coarse types of abrasive you could use a paint sock on your head with a 3M particulate mask.
In both cases I use a faceshied as well, allows air movement, but doesn't fog up like goggles would.

Can I get this at home depot? They have the 3m filter with cartrages. One type is for lead paint.

It is really bad for your lungs. You can get the fine silica sand in your lungs and it can cause problems
