What is the POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask?
The POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask is truly new and different than all other emergency escape masks. It was designed and manufactured for the fastest possible emergency escape from biological and chemical terror attack. The POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask will protect biological and chemical terrorist threats, including anthrax, cyanide, sarin, and smallpox. It also provides protection against irritants and toxic substances such as smoke, terrorist gases, combat gases, powder/aerosol tear gases, and airborne viruses and bacteria, each alone or in any combination, as may be used by terrorists or as a result of fire or other disasters The POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask comes presealed in a foil bag from the factory to keep it at peak effectiveness until the bag is torn open for instant use. We suggest that you never open the foil bag until the mask is actually needed for use. The foil bag tears open easily and the folded mask almost unfolds itself in your hands to be instantly worn. The pliable design of the mask material conforms to facial features and the head harness adjusts itself. There are no filters to uncap or screw in; no nose clip or "snorkel type" mouthpiece to grip; and there are only two adjustable straps to tighten. Proper Sealing of the POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask
There is an in-and-out billowing motion of the mask while breathing. The exhaled air is released through the precision one-way exhalation valve causing the mask to billow out. Likewise, when inhaling, the valve is closed against contaminants and the mask pulls in against the face as clean air flows through the filters. If you cannot attain this effect immediately, check the seal of the mask making sure that no hair is between the mask and the face and that the adjustment straps are properly attached to the fabric panels of the head harness.

The POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask has two specially designed filters with a large surface area and military grade activated carbon for filtering a high volume of clean air. By allowing a larger amount of air to be filtered (more than most masks, in fact), the POTOMAC accommodates the amount of air you need when running to make a fast escape. The unique filter shape is also part of the very lightweight and compact folded design of the mask. To see mask features, click here. How do the POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask's eye lenses allow for adequate vision during escape?
The optically clear and impact-resistant eye lenses are specially anti-fogging-coated to maintain vision during escape. The precision framed lenses eliminate distortions found in soft visors and eliminate the weight of rigid visors, both problems common to other types of masks and hoods.

Like any other military or civilian mask, the amount of time the POTOMAC Emergency Escape Mask will provide protection varies upon the agent and the concentration level that is used.
