WARNING
The NBC protection filters of the M9 ACE use a
type of carbon that contains chromium
VI. This is a known carcinogen if inhaled or swallowed. Damaged or unusable filters are
classified as hazardous waste.
- Do not throwaway damaged or unusable filters as trash.
- Turn in damaged or unusable filters to your hazardous waste management office
or Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO).
Filters are completely safe to handle and use if they are not damaged in such a way
that carbon leaks from them. If carbon does leak, use protection such as a dust respirator
to cover nose and mouth and put carbon in a container such as a self-sealing plastic
bag; turn in to hazardous waste management
office or DRMO. Disposal of hazardous
waste is restricted by law. Violation is subject to criminal penalties.
NBC contaminated filters can only be handled and disposed of by trained personnel.
Personnel must use protective clothing (FM 3-4) and follow appropriate decontamination
procedures (FM3-5). Follow unit SOP for final disposal of contaminated filters.
