Abstract
Abstract In addition to its mission of developing respiratory protective equipment for protection of the United States armed forces against the hazards of toxicological warfare agents, the U. S.

An illustrated discussion is presented on the following classes of individual respiratory protective equipment which have been standardized by the U. S. Army Chemical Corps: military protective masks, special purpose gas masks, self-contained breathing apparatus, dust masks and paint spray respirators. Also discussed are two (2) experimental protective masks developed by the Chemical Corps for the Federal Civil Defense Administration.
