What is a Gas Mask?
A gas mask is a device that is worn to reduce the amount of contamination in the air that you breathe. There are different types. Some of them cover only your nose and mouth, some cover your entire face and some positive air systems have hoods. All gas masks have filters that are used with them.
WHAT MAKES A GAS MASK EFFECTIVE?
The key characteristics are the fit and the capability of the filter.
WHEN SHOULD YOU WEAR A GAS MASK?
Some people say theres no point in having one unless I wear it all the time.Of course you shouldnt wear your mask all the time. Generally, there are two distinct situations when you should wear a mask. The first is when a competent authority, such as the police, declares an emergency and tells you to take cover, to evacuate or even to put on a mask if you have one. The second is when you are in a situation that becomes an emergency and your own awareness makes it clear that now is the time to put your mask on. In todays world, both these situations are genuine possibilities. We hope we never encounter such circumstances. But, realistically, such situations could happen while we are traveling, commuting, at work, at home, or doing anything else that is part of our regular lifestyle.
