Alright, I got it! Dietrich Ebony is terminally ill with a lethal disease that suppresses and destroys faunus traits one at a time to which there is no cure. This is why he no longer has a good sense of smell. Additionally, he uses the mask to dispense his own attempts at an aerosole cure. The mask is a way to treat this disease. editing the profile now.... Thanks for the inspiration guys!
