When inside your lungs it intermingles with water and creates hydrochloric acid. Gas Mask Technology Gas Types There were a few different gas masks that were used and invented in World War One. Some didn't serve there purpose well. Like the hypo helmet. This crude mask gave some protection but its eye-piece proved to be very weak and easy to break - thus making the protective value of the hypo helmet null and void. (HistoryLearningSite, 2014) Most British soldiers used the small box respirator. It had a nose clip on the inside as well as an insidemouth piece. This made it so rather than an air tight mask that ran out quickly, you only needed to inhale through the mask's canister.
