The Many Uses of Gas Masks
Wearing a gas mask is primarily intended to prevent the inhalation of poisonous gases. This kind of equipment was first developed during World War I as a way to protect soldiers from chlorine gas.
Presently, gas masks and other defense equipment are made available for the general public and are not just used as duty gear for professionals. Keeping safety gas masks in your emergency kit is essential to survive these risky situations:
Smoke
Household fires, commercial fires, grass fires, and other sources of conflagration can happen anywhere. If you are caught in between, the smoke can get to you faster than the blaze can travel.
A safety gas mask is a great help in filtering out the suffocating smoke and allows you to breathe easier as you find your way to safety.
Please note that not all gas masks are designed to filter out smoke particles. However, you can add a carbon monoxide filter or other specialized filter to turn an ordinary gas mask into a smoke escape respirator.
Natural Disasters
Tsunami, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters can stir up dirt and pollute the air.
Gas masks can effectively filter the particulates in the air and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases. The Mira Safety CBRN defense gas masks can even protect the user from radioactive dust.
Nuclear Warfare
CBRN masks are designed to dispel chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents. These masks are often used in military and rescue operations.
Mira Safety gas masks are made up of durable bromobutyl rubber construction which is highly resistant to CBRN agents and suitable for industrial and domestic emergencies.
Harmful Chemicals
Working with chemicals puts workers at a high risk of developing diseases from inhaling the toxic substances. Gas masks are very effective in filtering out these toxic gases and particles, especially when reinforced with a gas mask filter.
Contagious Diseases
The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a global health crisis that endangered the entire world. People sought out protection to prevent transmission and survive the ordeal.
The right gas masks can effectively filter airborne diseases and stop them from spreading to other hosts.
Riots
Uniformed personnel do not step out into protests and riots without donning their riot suits, sometimes complete with gas masks.
If you are caught up in this kind of situation, you better arm yourself with one, too. Gas masks are useful against tear gas and other hazardous agents that the protesters may diffuse.
Types of Mira Safety Gas Masks
If you need critical protection from emergencies, visit All Security Equipment for more Mira Safety gas mask products.
Full Face Respirators
These are military gas masks that cover the face entirely and are used when dealing with chemical warfare agents like mustard gas. A Mira Safety full-face respirator is made of durable bromobutyl rubber and meets CBRN protection standards, as we previously stated.
These masks are tested to resist mustard gas penetration for up to 30 hours and are engineered to provide unparalleled visibility.
Half Face Respirators
Half-face gas masks are used in special operations, security actions, and rescue operations. They have a shooter-friendly design that covers the mouth and cheek area and are ideal for vapor and particulate filtration. Mira Safety half-face masks have custom mesh head harnesses for standalone use.
CBRN Gas Masks
A CBRN gas mask offers outstanding defense in case of a CBRN breakout. It can also handle toxic industrial chemicals and riot control gases. It is a military-grade full-face respirator with low breathing resistance for high user comfort and protection.
CBRN masks are compatible with and can be fitted with gas mask filters, optical devices, breathing apparatus, helmets, and hydration systems.
Tactical Gas Masks
Tactical gas masks are similar to military gas masks but are not optimized to work with rifles and optics. These are often used for law enforcement, military, and civil defense. Mira Safety tactical masks have tested resistance against a full spectrum of chemicals and threats.
Mira Safety Children Gas Masks
Tactical masks have a universal fit, while military CBRN masks are available in small, medium, and large sizes. However, even a universal fit may not fully protect children from harmful gases and smoke.
The Mira Safety CBRN Child Escape Respirator is designed for children and teens. It may fit two-month-olds, but the recommended age of usage is at least two years old.
The child escape respirator provides the same protection as adult CBRN gas masks and comes as a complete system with the mask, filter, blower unit, tubing, carrier, and hydration system.
