Emergency mask for office safety
19 Jun 2008
In an unsettling sign of the times, the new “Smoke Block” emergency mask by Tokyo-based Rescuenow, Inc. is being touted as an effective means of protection against hydrogen sulfide, the trendy “detergent suicide” gas created by mixing household cleaners, which has claimed hundreds of lives across Japan in recent months. The mask has a special three-layer filter that keeps your lungs clean for up to 20 minutes, allowing you ample time to flee from smoke and/or toxic fumes. A full-face mask sells for 20,000 yen ($185) and a half-face version goes for 14,000 yen ($130).

So with the half-face version you’re only half dead?

Hmmm - after a curry lunch, I think this might be useful in my office.

I just found Trendsspotting coverage on Japanese suicide fad. Seems despite of Governments appeal to crack down “suicide” related stuffs on net,its relatively easy to locate those.Also the post carries some insightful survey outcomes !
