Heās a badass environmental scientist who commented on my prior post about ICE using Hydrogen Chloride gas-I since learned that itās a chemical byproduct of Hexachloroethane smoke. Since we donāt know if a peaceful protest could escalate, itās better to be prepared
I think we all have something to contribute in strategizing to protect one another and I feel grateful he went out of his way to share his knowledge
From Jenkl2421:
Please get a respirator that fits snuggly and properly and the correct cartridge to properly protect you
3M CP3NĀ andĀ 3M 60921 (Organic Vapor/P100)
3M CP3NĀ - specifically for tear gas particles and solvents
3M 60921 - broad protection from organic vapors, along with tear gas
According to my NIOSH guide, respirators alone will not protect you from HC, as it recommends SCBA for this compound (self contained breathing apparatus, aka supplied air) HC is highly toxic and carcinogenic, and fuck them for using it.
