MSA,
gas masks, and chemical / biological terrorism
MSA makes gas masks to help protect American military
personnel, first responders (firefighters, police, emergency medical services
personnel) and industrial workers from airborne chemical and biological
threats.
 Since
Sept. 11, the demand for gas masks has been strong, and MSA is working
around the clock to meet it. Currently, supplies are limited, and MSA
gas masks are available ONLY through our authorized distribution channels,
such as Armor Holdings. (Call MSA's Customer Service Center at 1-800-MSA-2222
for a distributor near you.)
We do not sell these products directly to consumers. Important: Many gas
masks sold at the retail level do not meet NIOSH standards. More important:
Without the proper training, fit, filter media, hazard identification,
etc., a gas mask could be largely ineffective.

by the general public, including: FAQs, Respiratory Protection, Recommendations

Gas Masks, Performance of MSA Gas Masks against Anthrax, and Why Gas Masks
Are Not for Use by Children.
