hello Don,

very interesting info !

thank you.

I once had a chance to test a gas mask in a tent full of tear gas.

I entered the tent with the mask on & I didn't feel any (!) tear gas
at all. infact I couldn't believe there is tear gas all around me.
I walked in there for 2 minutes or so & I tried to breath heavily
so I could feel just a little tear gas, but I couldn't feel any gas
at all (!)

& then I took the mask off & BANG ! there was more tear gas in there
than air.

it feels like your head is exploding, but after few minutes it's all
gone.

I know the filter on the mask is carbon.

air comes in thru the filter & goes out thru an exhaust unidirectional valve.

I'm not sure what tear gas is made of.

how does my testimony fits your info ?

thx

Erez
