Disclosed are methods, systems, canisters, and other implementations, including a method of filling a filter canister with a particulate filter material to a desired packing density comprises providing a canister having a fill opening through which the particulate filter material is introduced into the canister, introducing the particulate filter material through the fill opening, and subjecting the canister to centrifugal forces for a time until the desired packing density is reached is provided.

The present disclosure provides a respiratory protection device that includes a valve assembly operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In some exemplary embodiments, the respiratory protection device includes an elastomeric seal, and a valve assembly and a breathing air source component are in sealing engagement with the elastomeric seal when the valve assembly is in the closed configuration.

Disclosed is a waterseal virus-killing mask, including a mask body, a liquid virus-killing assembly, and two elastic ear loops. A breather valve is disposed on an outer surface of the mask body. The two elastic ear loops are disposed on two sides of the mask body, respectively. The liquid virus-killing assembly includes a U-shaped tube within which disinfectant is provided. A disinfectant replenishing tube is vertically disposed at an upper end in the middle of the U-shaped tube. A first horizontal straight tube and a second horizontal straight tube are separately disposed at two ends of the U-shaped tube. A left end of the first horizontal straight tube is in communication with an opening of the breather valve. A first filter mesh used to separate water and air is disposed at a right end of the first horizontal straight tube.

A respiratory face mask having a breathing cartridge therein which face mask breathing cartridge can both filter the breathing air while passing the breathing air through a voltage being generated by the cartridge. The cartridge generates a galvanic cell using spaced apart dissimilar metal particles when immersed in an electrolyte being held by an adjacent hydration layer of liquid retaining foamed polymer having breathing passageways therethrough.
