TZL30 gas and smoke mask
The mask is silver in color and has an orange strap to help victims be easily identified by rescue workers in the smoke. Size suitable for all ages, good tightness, effective air filtration and toxic gas prevention.
What impresses me with this product is that the head of the TZL30 mask is made of fireproof material, the outside is covered with a silver aluminum film to prevent heat radiation, avoiding head injury to people escaping.
However, for me, this is a product that limits users. Most products are only used to prevent smoke when fighting fires, fire smoke, etc.

2-piece half-face gas mask with 2 filters
The mask is simply designed combined with 2 filters that you can replace with activated carbon filters, two breathing valves to help remove toxic substances suitable for use in agriculture such as pesticide spraying, toxic smoke, fire smoke…
The mask is made from soft plastic material that does not cause itching or skin irritation and fits well on the face.
However, when first used, the product still has a slight odor of plastic and long-term use leaves slight marks on the skin but is acceptable.

What I like most about the V5 mask is its comprehensive protection, the product is equipped with eye protection glasses and very good air filtration. Especially effective in preventing smoke arising from fires and preventing harmful effects of pesticides.
The product is designed according to military standards, fits the face, leaving no marks when worn.
My feeling when I first used the product was that it felt a bit heavy, the glasses felt a little wet but gradually I got used to it, the product quality is good and durable.

3M 3200 gas mask
When buying a 3M gas mask product, it includes 4 parts: Mask, filter, filter cotton, cotton cap clip. Designed to fit tightly around the face to protect the worker’s respiratory system when working in polluted environments, with lots of dust, smoke, and toxic substances..
My feeling when using this product is that the air filter product is better than the dust filter. However, it still filters dust well! will be very suitable for those who are working in: Carpentry, animal husbandry, cement, coal, house cleaning….
For me, the product would be more complete if it had eye protection glasses, currently the product does not have protective glasses.

What is a gas mask?
A gas mask is a labor protection device designed to shield the user’s face. The main purpose is to protect users from inhaling toxic substances and polluted air into the body.
Currently, anti-toxic masks are designed to cover the user’s nose, mouth, or the entire face and head.
Advice on choosing the best gas mask.
Each of us wants to protect ourselves from toxic chemicals in a polluted environment. At this time, the most optimal solution is to use a gas mask. But how to choose the masks that bring the best effectiveness? Here are some notes for you when choosing to buy this product:
1. Choose the right type of gas mask
You need to see what pollutants your working environment has to choose the right type of protective mask. Because there are masks that protect against biological substances, but there are masks that protect against chemicals.
2. Choose to buy a suitable filter set
Each type of filter will be able to filter different toxic gases. Some types can only filter inorganic or organic substances, but some types can filter both inorganic and organic substances. Some types can only filter dust or light toxic gas concentrations. Some types can filter large amounts of toxic gases and have high toxic concentrations.
Therefore, you need to find out what your working environment is like. What’s the location like? Is there any toxic source nearby? What are the characteristics of that type of poison? From there, choose to buy the appropriate filter to bring the best anti-toxic effect.
3. Choose a reputable mask brand
Some reputable mask brands such as North, Deltaplus, and 3M… will always ensure the best quality for users.
The product line has diverse designs and designs suitable for many different faces of Asian and European people.
4. Carefully check the gas mask
You need to carefully check the products before buying to see if they work properly. It’s best to ask the salesperson for advice on how to check the mask before use.
How to use anti-toxic masks effectively
Using an anti-toxic mask helps protect the user’s health, especially the respiratory system. But how to use masks properly and safely? Here’s what you need to do:
1. You need to read the instructions for use carefully before using
Although each mask has a different design, in general, the usage is not much different. Before using the product, you need to read the instructions carefully and perform the following operations correctly:
Step 1: Peel off the plastic bag and take out the mask and filter.
Step 2: Install the filter into the mask according to the instruction manual.
Step 3: Put the mask on your face by opening the strap hook underneath the mask and then slowly put the anti-toxic mask against your nose and mouth.
Step 4: Adjust the mask to fit your face after pulling the string above the mask over the top of your head. The remaining string is pulled from the front through the neck to secure the mask in the middle of the face.
Step 5: Check the mask to see if the anti-toxic product covers the face. Do not let the rubber layer fold, creating gaps for toxic gases to enter.
Note:
Shave cleanly because beards can prevent the mask from making contact with your face.
Do not wear jewelry, hats, or scarves when wearing a mask. Because they will make the mask not fit tightly to the face.
Breathe and talk normally to try and feel comfortable. If you can still breathe and talk normally, then you are wearing it correctly.
2. Always preserve masks properly
Some important things that people should do when preserving masks are:
Check filters regularly and replace them when necessary: Each type of filter has a different lifespan and duration. Different types of chemical exposure also affect filter change times. Therefore, you need to check the filter regularly and replace it promptly.
Store the mask according to the manufacturer’s instructions: It is best to store it in a sealed box after use in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
Check the mask regularly for cracks or leaks. Are the materials damaged or degraded? Doing this will help you avoid unfortunate incidents when using it.
