So I got this black GP 5 off BudK (le FudK XD) and I can't find anything if the filter it came with is safe. On the website it says it's a SCHM-41 (military GP-5?) and the comments go back and forth between it containing asbestos. Doubt I will ever have to use it but it would be nice to know if it could give me cancer.

Close up of filter

Asbestos filters are actually fine as long as the the asbestos barrier isn't broken as it's inhaling the fibers from broken barriers that gives you cancer. Check the date on it and that will tell you if the barrier is most likely or not intact, but stock up on other filters when you can.

Unless dust is leaking from it it's safe.
>>
>>33513387
Yes, it's safe.
As other anons have said, unless it's a pre-1942 filter that's giving off a heavy dust, you're fine.

I'm not really willing to breath it if it does have asbestos. Lung cancer killed enough of my family off already man.
