	answer text	<p>The Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation, places restrictions on the sale and supply of products that contain asbestos. These will apply to Second World War gas masks, if they contain asbestos. REACH does permit the continued use of existing asbestos containing articles. However the Health and Safety Executive's advice is that, while the overall risk is low, it is not appropriate to wear or handle, for demonstration purposes, Second World War gas masks that could contain asbestos. There are some types of gas mask that do not contain asbestos, and others that have had asbestos removed. These can continue to be used for practical demonstration purposes.</p>
