GreyCat (OP) User ID: 961295 United States 06/18/2010 11:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for all the helpful posts... I don't know how well zeolite will help. Benzene is a completely neutral molecule. It's the god dam SHAPE of it that allows it to fit anywhere. Zeolite is an electro-positive. I don't know how well this will interact with benzene. Sound's like a way too easy fix for the pill poppers of America. I won't leave Florida just yet. I'm a hearty lad. I will bug out at last minute and take my chances. I'd rather do that than be called a fool for being paranoid... |

Follower of YHWH User ID: 1007020 United States 06/19/2010 12:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just ordered 4 Finnish NBC gas masks and an extra 4 NBC filters. BTW, NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical. They were on eBay. Here's a link: [link to shop.ebay.com] I got all four plus the extra four (total of eight) filters for a total of $106.42. I think its the best deal around for what you get. Here's a pic: Last Edited by YHWHer on 06/19/2010 12:55 AM Jesus is the man! |

Quoting: Yee HawCat litter Non-clumping cat litter is often made of zeolite or diatomite. I can just eat some of my cats litter. Don't be fucking stupid. Zeolite for human consumption in supplement form is NOT the same form or grade of zeolite. And the supplement form is the best protection I know of from chem like benzene. |
anon - prepper User ID: 1008103 United States 06/19/2010 01:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.mainemilitary.com (secure)] is Best price for this mask in particular. I have purchased 6 and have three other higher quality... but this will do for NBC - preparations. Also...Buy some duct tape and 3mil-6mil clear plastic for windows/doors and front door/garage decam area if contaminated. Also high pressure your condo with air/hepa fans for positive pressure in condo and use masks outside/traveling as needed for breathing filter. Good Luck to you...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 997542 United States 06/19/2010 03:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The problem with buying military surplus or questionable crap from eBay is that quite often the masks show evidence of dry rot, or the filters are well past their expiration date. In both cases you're throwing money away for a false sense of security and could be risking your life. Buy only new masks and sealed filters with known manufacturing dates from reputable distributors. The best mask available nowadays is arguably the MSA Millennium with CBRN filters. The Millennium has a full face shield for unobstructed field of view (as opposed to masks with eye holes which are like looking through toilet paper tubes), and you can attach the filter to either the right or left side so that you can get a proper cheek-weld on your rifle or shotgun. Any gas mask with a filter coming straight out the front is going to get you in trouble if you need to shoulder a firearm. The CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) filters will protect you from anything that you're likely to come up against, including the nuke option if they decide to use it in the Gulf. Buy once, cry once. Don't trust your life to crap gear. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1015121 United States 06/25/2010 07:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you need to make sure that you exhale out the mask via your cheeks to ensure that your mask is sealed....facial hair kills the masks ability to seal to your skin. Quoting: WhodatThis is incorrect. You must cover the filter intake holes as you inhale and make sure the mask presses in on your face. This verifies that the only way air can enter the mask when you breath is through the filter canisters. However, it is correct that facial hair will greatly reduce the seal between the mask and your skin. |

What's the worry ? Sounds like damn good odds to me. Maybe God is paying us back for Bopal, Iraq, Afghanistan, nuked babies in Japan, Three's Company etc. |
