Just thought I would add one more little tidbit to ponder regarding gas masks. If all issues were to be met and worked out regarding availabilty, placement, training, etc., A full face mask with pressurized air would have to be used to protect the eyes so you may escape. If you had the time to put in on and get it working in an emergency, it would probably leak anyway unless all were clean shaven. After some long hours on duty, I don't think we could all take time to shave. Sounds like a relatively useless venture. I worked on the docks for awhile unloading some hazardous minerals and my mask worked well at the begining of the shift however; near the end of my shift I developed leaks due to the growth of facial hair. Maganese poisoning among other things is not pleasant and that is a particle not even a gas. I also tried to compensate by applying gel to my face around the mask. It helps but, is not foolproof.
