You should not buy a gas mask. A gas mask would only protect you if you were wearing it at the exact moment a bioterrorist attack occurred. Unfortunately, a release of a biological agent is most likely to be done covertly. You would not know ahead of time to put on your mask.

CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This involves sleeping with a pressure pump device which is supplied to a facial or nasal mask.

The positive pressure is administered via a face or nasal mask which is hooked up to a pressure pump.
