gas masks
Filtered breathing apparatus
Gas masks are protective devices worn over the face to filter harmful gases, chemicals, or airborne particles from breathed air.
They typically cover the nose and mouth—or the entire face—with a sealed fit and replaceable filter cartridges.
Military and industrial settings use them against chemical weapons and toxic fumes.
Protesters donned gas masks when police deployed tear gas.
