A gas mask can provide protection against chemical warfare. The use of chemical weapons has long been banned, but they are still used. Civilians are usually the ones who suffer the most. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) makes use of international cooperation to help eliminate chemical weapons.
After a visit to the Nobel Prize Museum by the organisation's Director General, Ahmet Üzümcü, the OPCW donated this gas mask to the museum.
OPCW donated the gas mask to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2014.
