Does this mask protect against HCN(Hydrogen Cyanide)?

No! HCN is a poisonous gas and would require a self contained oxygen mask like those used by firefighters or fumigators.

I have a goatee and I use this respirator...it seems to work fine (I always block the vents and try to breathe in before using), though I can occasionally smell faint odors while wearing it, whether it's paint, solvents, or residual cooking smells. So you can take that for whatever it's worth.

NO, strictly for particulates. Infectious disease protection would require positive air pressure suit supplied with sterile air. Remember infectious organisms can enter through eyes, ears, cuts, scrapes, etc. This mask is NOT for protection from infectious diseases.

I have worn it with safety glasses with no trouble. The seal around the mask is flexible and seems to work well in fitting with glasses. Worked well for me when i was finishing a new floor - there was no smell though the finish was very potent.

Good question, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Since it does not specify, concerned it may be cyanocobalamin, which contains cyanide, and if a person is at all compromised, would be taxing to the system, not to mention could build up in the system. A good question for the manufacturer of Solgar.

Not entirely sure. It would likely work decently at filtering smoke or tear gas. You would need a full face mask obviously, but I wouldn't use it for that as real gas masks can be found cheaply enough. This is from the product description on this website, "This cartridge/filter is not for use in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)."

When I first put on the mask, I could see a sliver of light entering from my right nostril, but I adjusted the mask and I was in complete darkness. The material seems to adhere closely to the skin because it's that sponge-y, polypropylene-type material. When I get home, I'll check the tag to tell you exactly what it is. When I first tried it on, I was worried it would make me sweat around the eyes, because it fit so closely to the skin, but that has not been the case. My face stays comfortably cool.

Probably only masks. I could see great result from Vital C mask, but I did not see much result or changes from Pure Hyaluronic Acid.

The filter might but the mask WILL NOT. It's a partial face mask. I would not expose myself with anything less than a Full coverage mask - because I am inexperienced in biological isolation techniques and practices. All you people out there who are panicking and thinking that you should be buying this stuff, you are wasting your time without proper instruction in how to utilize and maintain your equipment. Improper, inadequate, or non-existent training is as good as no mask at all.

you will have to check the canisters you buy.Cannisters are rated for different materials.Are you speaking of using it for fiberglass sanding, car paint, there are pre filters like cloth attaching to outside that work in conjunction with the canister.If you are talking chemical weapons you can buy those BUT dont know if the connections match the mask. Hope I didnt scare you. Marty

Nope! You're better off buying a mask that's $30-50.. I use mine for airsoft and I know for sure nothing would go through. Paintball is a different story!

Blocks the smell very well. I keep the mask in a sealed ziploc bag between uses as carbon filters whether you are wearing it or not. I am in China (watch the news about the smog here) and I can tell you that it works well.

Absolutely not! I've not had it happen yet. It's one of the many reasons I love this mask!

Usually, gas masks have eye ports which would serve as eye protection however, if your speaking of a ventilator with duel or single canisters, youwill probably have to exstend the shileds head straps to accommodate this. hope this has helped.

Ok, I will answer this question based on experience. It does block odors. I wear this mask in a location that burns their trash in a pit. The fire is some times accelerated with diesel fuel. To say it smells toxic is a huge understatement. This mask will block the smell. It is actually amazing. I wear the mask at the location I work and it is amazing what I can't smell. Anyways, this mask will block odors that are particulate odors such as an open burn pit.

Yes it does seal around the face , its very comfortable and extremely cool in the face,, very nice! The only big problem is that if the fuse outside are really strong it still gets into the mask and actually I had to remove the mask once because the fumes in the mask where stronger inside the mask than outside..

I just used a paper mask with metal nose clamp... It worked for short exposure. You probably need respirator if you do it more often.
