In this article, we’ll discuss two types of threats: CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) and RCAs.

That type of threat requires full body protection and coverage - but level A to D chem suits are a topic for another day. If it’s something more nefarious, like VX nerve agent, then a mask is only the first step since the agent can also be absorbed through exposed skin. The penalty for exposure to RCAs is discomfort for a brief period of time. And depending on how uncomfortable you want to be, so will a wet sponge. If the anticipated threat is simply riot control agents (RCA), then any of the masks listed here will be fine. The first question you should consider is whether you even need a gas mask. Today, the M17 is nothing more than a conversation piece since the filters contain chromium, which we now know to be a carcinogen. Lots of people are familiar with the M17 military gas mask, but like everything in life, filters and composition have improved. As threats changed, so did the masks and the technology behind them. Early “masks” were just wet sponges covering the user’s mouth and nose. EACH MASK WILL INCLUDE ONE MSA CBRN 40mm FILTER (PN 10046570) WITH AN EXPIRATION OF 09/2021 BUT STILL VACUUMED SEALED IN THE OEM PACKAGING & BOX.The history of gas masks is long and varied, in hopes of matching the threat from various different types of agents.Standard mechanical speaking diaphragm included, or add an AudioPack Sound System.Internal nose-cup with 2 check valves deflects air from the lens, reduces fogging.Drinking tube connection for fluid ingestion in contaminated atmospheres.Flexible polyurethane wide vision lens bonded to Hycar rubber face-piece.Flexible, one-piece polyurethane lens eliminates uncomfortable pressure points.Super-soft black Hycar rubber exceeds CBRN permeation requirements.Six-point head harness means easy donning and adjustment with no hair pulling.Canister inlet ports on left or right side enables weapon sighting from either side.Sizes available are: small, medium, and large. These masks are only CBRN approved when used with an appropriate CBRN filter.
The outsert lens adds scratch and impact resistance. They include the removable clear polycarbonate outsert lens, which is low profile and compatible with riot gear. These used masks were police issued turn-ins, which have seen little to no use. The mask also permits hydration once the wearer has moved to an uncontaminated area. Regarding interoperability, the Millennium CBRN Gas Mask is designed as a system and while the thread and gasket are designed to meet the requirements of the standard, only the manufacturers assemblies are tested and certified. The material is impermeable to chemical agents such as mustard (HD), providing maximum assurance to the wearer. A nose cup is also incorporated for reduced fogging of the face-piece. The mask is lightweight and provides a tight seal on the face. The wearer can communicate easily while wearing the Millennium CBRN Gas Mask, too.
The wearer enjoys a wide field of view and great flexibility, making it possible to safely perform any tasks required, including firing weapons if needed. The Millennium design is based on a highly successful military gas mask. MSA Millennium gas mask meets or exceeds all performance requirements of the new NIOSH CBRN Standard by effectively removing harmful gases, vapors and particulates so that the user can confidently breathe safely.
