Respirator

Imperium Portal

The Respirator, or Gas Mask, is a breathing mask that can cover the nose and mouth or even the entire face and offers much better protection against harmful gases than Filtration Plugs.^[1][2][3] Good craftsmanship Respirators are more effective while masks of poor craftsmanship have to be replaced after 10 hours of usage because their filters have become clogged and unusable.^[2][3] Respirators can be fitted with a light-source above the faceplate.^[4]
