You will see many retailers touting this information. The Russian GP-5 is no different in that respect. There are many many misconceptions that abound on the Internet that simply because it is Russian or Eastern Bloc design and made many years ago it is of an inferior quality and offers no protection whatsoever.
With the brief science out of the way it is time to discuss how this matters in terms of CBRN protective equipment. Specifically, surplus gas masks currently on the market for cheap even more specifically, the cheapest of the cheap, the Russian GP-5 mask.Īre they effective? All gas masks whether new or surplus, military or civilian are comprised of 3 basic elements rubber, metal and plastic. Zika, while obviously different is very similar in size again, size is the important factor here. The size (this is the important part to remember) is a length of approximately 970nm and a diameter of approximately 80nm. What are viruses such as Ebola or Zika? Yes, we know a virus is a little “bug” that does horrible things to people, but what is it really? Ebola is a member of the Filoviridae family of viruses and is a single stranded RNA type. In light of the current emerging threat of multiple maladies such as Ebola, Zika and the ever present Swine/Bird flues, I feel it is important to discuss certain aspects of personal protection what is effective, what is not effective and the precautions the average person can take.īefore I delve into the meat of this topic it is important to get a bit of science out of the way. CBRN stands for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear.

What most people call a gas mask is actually a CBRN (formerly known as NBC) Protective Mask or Pro Mask in military terms.
The term gas mask is in itself a misnomer. There are many grossmisconceptions concerning the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of surplus “gas masks” currently on the marked.
