Hey OP
Some years ago I purchased some Israel gas masks sealed. Haven't looked at them in couple years. Based on this information I am thinking I may need to discard them? Any help on this for me.
Thanks for the info OP
Quoting: Mukk1234 Typically... NBC filters for gas masks last at MOST 15 years. And that's stretching it. If they're just chemical filters you might be alright. The gas mask itself should be fine, although I would use a banana to test the seal. If you put the mask on with a fresh filter, hold the unpeeled banana around the edges of the mask and breath. If you smell the banana, the mask isn't sealing properly (which is common for older masks.) Bananas are one of the most recognizable and unique odors is why I'd suggest that. However, if it's an old surplus mask, I would purchase new filters, or consider a new mask platform all together.
