Описание:

The use of gas masks to protect against toxic gases dates back to the early 20th century. The first gas masks were developed in response to the use of poison gas as a weapon during World War I.

The use of poison gas as a weapon began in April 1915, when the German army released chlorine gas on the battlefield at Ypres, Belgium. The gas caused widespread panic and confusion, and many soldiers were killed or injured by the toxic fumes. In response, both the Allies and the Central Powers began developing gas masks to protect against poison gas attacks.

By the end of World War I, gas masks had become an essential piece of equipment for soldiers and civilians alike. Today, gas masks are still used in a variety of situations, including during chemical spills and in military conflicts where chemical weapons are used.
