This paper characterizes the problem of matching masks that are part of individual means ofprotection against contamination. The method of matching masks in the Polish Armed Forces with theuse of irritating chemical agents such as chloropicrin and CS was analyzed.

They were analyzed and compared with the results of the reference method ‒ total internal leakage.Keywords: defense against weapons of mass destruction, individual protective equipment, fitting filter masks
