Dear Half-Mast,
We recently
turned in all our
M9 detector
paper. I was
wondering if M9
paper is still being
used and if it’s
safe. I’ve heard
it’s unsafe because
it contains a
high level of
carcinogens.
SGT T.S.
Dear Sergeant T.S.,
Yes, M9 paper is still being used and it’s safe.
..
now. The original M9 paper contained a dye that was
suspected of being a carcinogen. But the Army stopped
stocking that M9 paper more than 20 years ago. The
M9 paper that comes with NSN 6665-01-226-5589
uses a different dye and is perfectly safe.
By the way, you shouldn’t have turned in your
M9 paper. You should have one roll of M9 paper
per Fve Soldiers and one roll per each major piece
of equipment.
