Wearing a mask is a last resort control measure to prevent inhaltion of respirable particles that are in the air. There are a huge range of herbicides and pesticides, but it is only during spraying that there could be any possibility of benefit of respiratory protective equipment. It would need to be fitted and have the appropriate filters for the material in the air. I assume you work indoors, if so the building should make exposures even less than outside. Many attribute problems to pesticides and herbicides; there are occasional health problems, particularly in those doing the spraying, but they are rare. The most important thing for you is a proper diagnosis to find the cause of your problems.
