- 1). Look for gas masks with a filter cartridge or charcoal cartridge in military supply stores. Army or Navy surplus outlets offer a wide selection of face masks at reasonable prices. The cartridges help to filter out the ammonia fumes.
- 2). Search safety equipment stores for masks that protect against fumes. Again, look for masks with charcoal or filter cartridges. Many stores offer top-of the-line safety gear for those who work in dangerous occupations, such as firefighters and hazardous wastes cleanup crews.
- 3). Buy swimming goggles from a sporting good store if the mask you have doesn't cover the eyes. The goggles protect the eyes from any possible ammonia splashes and also reduce or eliminate eye irritation due to the fumes, reports Code Smiths.
