Nice editing work.
You're a liar, and for the life of me, I'm not sure why you would be attempting to get people to use dangerous expired filters. Nephrotoxicity is a bitch (and a side effect of expired antibiotic applicants,) and so is lung cancer. For those interested, I suggest you do your own research before relying on an edited Wiki article.
There are many excellent resources on Gas masks and filters.
Agendas abound.
ETA: If anyone is curious what that individual is referring to, he's getting information from a Wiki article. What he's neglecting to tell you is that oxygen (any H2O based exposure) is a "chemical" (his words,) that breaks down the filter. Do not use expired gas mask filters, the expiration involved also takes into fact the lifespan of the package the filter is sealed in.
Quoting: Jake101 you're an idiot. just google "toxic gas mask filters" you will get a 10's if not hundreds of articles, websites etc showing its a myth other than what I have said(toxicity by absorption, not "breakdown"), only a few propagating the myth of lethal manufacture components.....moron. Break down occurs BECAUSE OF ABSORPTION. An expiration date factors in the seals that prevent oxygen from saturating. What do you think oxygen is? I'd love to hear how you intend to seal a filter in an absolute vaccuum until you intend to use it. Ignore an expiration, and you risk the filter (and the chemical agents that protect you when fresh) breaking down and poisoning you. I didn't come here to talk about gas mask filters. The poster asked, and I answered. You, on the other hand, have some sort of purpose here hijacking the thread. Just to put this out there, but.... aren't a LOT of products cheaply and easily vacuum sealed to prevent spoilage or contamination, it being an extremely common practice anymore. So, if it were a problem and concern for these filters, then what would be the difficulty in sealing them in the same fashion? At least the filter agent or unit itself? Just seems odd if that's actually a problem.  Yes, it is easy. It's why many filters have expirations exceeding 15 years now. It used to be (in surplus masks) that they would be sealed in a plastic "egg," or sometimes vacuum sealed in a foil laden cardboard biproduct. Now, vacuum packaging is far more effective. The problem comes not from the packaging necessarily, but the inability to mass produce these filters in a pure vacuum state. Existing oxygen in a single crevasse can react with external temperatures, and eventually make its way into the filtration housing breaking down the filter and it's applicants.
