Well nobody is certain, but people have taken them apart and didn't find anything. So I don't believe they have asbestos, but they may be toxic in some other way.

If you still don't want to use them, you can buy the Swiss 40mm thread gas mask filters.

im pretty sure that the filter on the side or front of a gas mask filters the air and when you exhale it goes out a part that only passes air out... close enough.. that's what mine does
