MSA Millennium CBRN Gas Mask

Description

The MSA Millenium combines high performance, customized fit, comfort and cost efficiency in a version of the reliable military-style gas mask (MCU-2/P) used by the U.S. Air Force in Operation Desert Storm.

A flexible, one-piece polyurethane lens with a wide field of vision is bonded to the durable Hycar rubber facepiece. A drinking tube provides connection for fluid ingestion in contaminated atmospheres. An internal nose cup with two check valves deflects air from the lens and reduces fogging. A fully elastic, six-point head harness promotes easy on/off and adjustment, with no hair pulling. A standard mechanical speaking diaphragm is included, or MSA s optional ESP II communications system can be added. A butyl-coated nylon hood is available for total head protection.

The dual-canister mount allows weapon sighting from either shoulder. The CBRN canister contains chemical sorbents and a P100 filter to attract, retain and neutralize contaminants. The Millennium CBRN gas mask is designed to be used as a system, and while the thread and gasket meet the specifications of the standard, only MSA-manufactured components are tested and certified as assemblies.

Note: Cartridges must be purchased separately.

Defining the CBRN threatCBRN encompasses Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear agents airborne hazards which could be used as weapons in a terrorist attack.

Chemical agents include cyanide, mustard gas, ricin, sarin and VX, each of which represents multiple sources of physical distress, some leading even to death. Certain chemical agents attack the central nervous system, disabling the bodys abilityto control its functions and permittingmuscles and organs to workthemselves to death. Others attackthe skin and mucous membranes oncontact, causing severe blistering.

Biological agents include anthrax,botulism and smallpox. These agentsare bacteria or viruses endangeringthe life and health of organisms,specifically human beings. Somemultiply within the body to releasetoxins into the blood, others paralyzemuscles, still others are severe andcontagious viral infections.

Radiological and Nuclear threats include dirty bombs, or radiologicaldispersal devices combining conventional explosives like dynamite withradioactive materials in the form of powder or pellets. Classic nuclearhazards are those associated with the aftermath of detonation of a nucleardevice. Radiation cannot be seen, smelled, felt or tasted by humans.
