magenta is just the particulate element

btw these go bad after you open up the pack and let them sit for a few months

the particulate part lasts indefinitely

@MͭAͤJͨOͪṘ I assume it would be if you could use it in a nuclear fallout

This is the one I have. Is it any good?

it filters out OC spray

and dust

and fallout

and germs

won't do anything for tear gas

or anything that stinks

@MͭAͤJͨOͪṘ What mask COULD you use for tear-gas?

Or any other chemical based warfare?

ok. Well I did buy it for exploring the old asylum, so it served its purpose

If you don't know what will be used, buy a Olive/Magenta filter like the one I posted

Urbexing nationalism

@Hadrian If you are going into an abandoned building you are going to need something that will filter-out stuff like black mold and asbestos.

although

you might be better off with a ABEKP type filter

P100 is supposed to be used for asbestos

Well it depends on what kind of building you are going to, and how old the building is.

@Hadrian When was it abandoned?

6099 model is similar to the standard issue CBRN filters that come with gas masks for military

And when was it built?

Different buildings opened in different times

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Park_Psychiatric_Center

1885?

And closed at 1996.

that's when the first building was built

So I think that something that filters asbestos and black mold will be a NEED in this situation.

but they were built and added to for decades, and they started abandoning buildings in the 70s onwards

Isn't the P100 rated for that?

it is

mold is a spore

spores are huge particles

Right, that's what I thought. That's why I picked that one

@Hadrian Also I would reccomend that you bring something to defend yourself, because wild animals love to live inside buildings like these.

YALL TALKIN GAS MASKS

oh I did when I went there
