How to choose

Gas masks & respirators: what to know

There are three levels. N95 respirators filter particles: smoke, ash, dust. A half-face respirator seals better and adds cartridges for some vapours. A full-face gas mask protects the eyes as well and takes combination canisters rated for particles, organic and inorganic gases, acid gases and ammonia.

For a nuclear emergency, a mask does one job: it keeps radioactive dust out of your lungs while you get indoors. It does not stop radiation, and neither does anything else you can wear. That is why our Nuclear Readiness Kit pairs the mask with the means to seal a room and a radio for official instructions.

Common questions

Is there a mask that protects against nuclear radiation?

No. Nothing worn on the body stops gamma radiation. A gas mask or particulate respirator reduces how much radioactive dust you breathe in, which is worth doing, but protection from radiation itself comes from shelter, distance and time.

What is the difference between an N95, a respirator and a gas mask?

An N95 is a disposable mask that filters particles. A half-face respirator is reusable, seals better and can take cartridges for some vapours. A full-face gas mask also protects the eyes and takes canisters rated for a wider range of gases. None of them filters carbon monoxide or supplies oxygen.

Are your gas masks NIOSH CBRN approved?

No. Our full-face mask is certified to European standards EN 136 and EN 14387, which is a legitimate and widely used certification. NIOSH CBRN approval is a separate North American standard, and we do not claim it.

Do gas masks work with a beard, or for children?

A tight-fitting mask will not seal over a beard or heavy stubble. Masks are made for adult faces, and there is no approved equivalent for young children; for them, getting indoors quickly is the protection.
