you're going to need to get new cans for "serious" use anyway, so why worry about that?
Next to no country's used Asbestos in filters after 70s

just make sure you buy relatively new NATO 40mm filters and you should be /k/

>>31051513
Where do you buy 40mm NATO filters? I've found some online but they're all pretty outrageously priced. Does anyone make them still?

But you cant drink with it on.

You can likely find industrial ones that are better quality to be fair.

Would they fit a 40mm mask though?

>>31052892
No, I mean get a whole new masks instead. They are way better and last longer too. The military gas masks degrade because they are cheaply made.

>>31052903
Ah, I might get a whole new mask for general shtf, but I'm still gonna look around for a matching filter for the aesthetic

>>31052892
The industrial standard is 40mm. NATO simply adopted an existing standard for their use.

>>31052932
Would the industrial filters have the same fitting as the 40mm NATO? I've been looking around but can't find jack in the way of a modern filter to fit an older mask

>>31052967
Then stop using an old mask.

>>31052892
Most major manufacturers make adapters.

Do the Yugoslavian M1 gas masks contain asbestos/chromium/anything harmful? I recently found out what it was, trying to figure out whether it's safe to use or not.

gas masks are not /k/ - Weapons, fuck off to /out/

>>31053884
Surplus gas masks are inherently unsafe and can only be relied upon for mitigating tear gas

>>31055140

Not true.

I have surp mask same one my brother used in Gulf war.... Works fine for all sorts of shit
