Protective masks for urbex are generally considered optional equipment during urban exploration. However, in situations where there is a risk of contact with potentially toxic substances such as asbestos, rodent droppings or mold, masks can be very useful. When exploring abandoned buildings, you can expect a lot of dust, dirt and other irritants that can adversely affect the respiratory tract. With a protective mask, you can minimize the risks associated with inhaling contaminants.
An urbex mask can be equipped with a number of advanced technologies and features that are useful during exploration. Examples include submicron Hepa filters, which trap dust particles down to 0.3 microns in size. Filters of this type catch about 99.7 microns of contaminants less than 0.3 microns in size, i.e. most bacteria, viruses, fungal cells and protozoa.
The advantage of the masks offered at MILITARY.EU is that they provide free air circulation and allow a perfect fit to the face, which is important from the point of view of mask tightness. In addition, reinforced seams and temperature-resistant materials, such as silicone membrane, can increase the mask's durability, which is important when exploring in harsh conditions. The ability to quickly and easily change filters (Inter-change Mounting) makes it easier to adapt the mask to the specific situation you find yourself in during urbex.
MILITARY.EU offers dust masks from brands such as Respro, Broyx, Dragon Mask and Marathon. An urbex mask can help reduce the risk of exposure to allergens, toxic substances and microorganisms that may be present in abandoned buildings.
