- Therefore, it cannot be assured that these products meet the stated performance standards, and may have reduced breakthrough times for the gases and vapours that the filter is certified to protect against. This is particularly significant when the product is being used to protect against mercury vapour (Hg), as mercury vapour does not have clear warning properties should breakthrough occur.
