Gas Mask Safety advice
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Important safety advice regarding gas masks or respirators.
This video covers realistic risks to those which are mostly theoretical.
In this video, I cover, the risk of asbestos inhalation from filters as well as a general risk of filters degrading over time. The risk of Chromium inhalation from filters which is widely misunderstood and a lot of misinformation is spread around regarding it.
The risk of suffocation if you use a mask with a sealed filter.
As well as the low-level risks of a mask containing talcum powder or a mask being contaminated with chemicals if sold as surplus.
I would highly advise everyone follow the advice in this video to keep our hobby of gas mask collecting as safe as possible.
If you have doubts about a mask, the safest thing is not to wear it.

A little comfort tip: Take the mask off from back to front. If you wear it over longer time periods, especially in summer, moisture will collect around the exhaling membrane. So if you take the mask off the way you took off that GP-5, you'll smear it all over your face. Just a sergeant's advice^^

Won’t happen. The military (at least the US Army I was in) is VERY careful and detail oriented about ordinance. Chemical weapons are treated as very serious business and nerve agents are some of the worst. If a mask was used in a nerve agent environment, it would likely be destroyed when it’s taken out of service rather than risk putting it on the surplus market.

For things like volcano ash clouds or smoke from a burning house somewhere (so not chemical) is it possible to dust out an FP-5 and re use it for that same purpose, or is it dangerous to do that? So in case of ash or small dust which is not chemical you re use, but in case of a chemical fire, attack, or any other CBRN-like threat you use another, new one

I noticed you mentioned polish gas mask filters and asbestos in the same sentence and immediately I got worried. I recently bought a polish gas mask from 1983 that looked extremely similar to the soviet gp5 masks. I have worn it but never attached the filter to it. The filter is tall, and shaped almost like a large alcohol flask. I don’t know what model the gas mask is and I was wondering if the filter was dangerous or not. If you could tell me if it is or not, I would appreciate it.

There's not been tests done on the other Polish and Czechoslovakian filters from the Cold War so personally I wouldn't trust them, personally I would recommend you use modern Polish filters such as the FP-5 that still fit on the old masks but are perfectly safe. Sounds like you have a Polish EO-14 filter, I personally wouldn't want to breath through that for extended periods.

thanks ill buy some as soon as i got the m40 out there xD
I recently got a Russian mask. The seller claims it’s new and unused, however the mask is dusty and the rubber looks dull and the surface feels roughy and dusty. I have tried to clean it couple times but it looks same after it is dried out. I don’t know if it’s just the rubber material or something else. Also, the metal part of the tube connect to the mask is a bit rusty, would it be a concern?

Just don't use the filter that came with it and you'll be fine. When they say new they mean unissued, it's certainly not new, probably a good 30+ years old.

Weaponsandstuff93 Thanks for the advice. One more question tho, I have read that the production of GP5 ended in 1990s, does it mean that all the GP5 masks in the market right now were made back then?
