The masks are only as good as their filters,..IF you know exactly which agent is present. The normal military surplus gas masks offer NO protection against biolodical or against certain nerve agent attacks. Unless you have spacesuit or diver helmets with independent filtered air sources you are better off duct taping your TV room and putting the game on. Sorry for the bad news but your best protection is a 30 mph wind,...blowing the other direction. Some of the bio weapons need only 2 parts per million for fatal results.
