The Army has developed a new scarf-like mask designed to protect against riot control agents. Currently users are forced to wear full general protective masks made of hard bulky materials. This one however would be as easy as putting on a surgical mask. Paul Gardner is a supervisory physiologist at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center's Research and Technology Directorate. He is also the chief of the Respiratory Protection Division that developed the mask. He explains how the idea for this project got started.
