I get asked a lot to do a video regarding how to store gas masks/respirators properly to avoid them breaking down or getting damaged.
Here is the very basic guide to respirator storage.
If possible keep a respirator inside it's haversack/carry satchel when not in use, and keep it in areas that do not experience bright sunlight or sudden temperature changes.
The UV radiation in sunlight is damaging to masks, it can discolour them and cause damage to the rubber over time.
You should not hang masks by their straps, this causes tension to the straps and mask over time and wears parts down, I store some broken or very cheap masks this way as illustrated in the video, but it's not a good practise to get into.
Some masks have actual carrying straps, hanging them from these is okay but it's always better to actually store a mask resting on a shelf or inside it's haversack.
