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. DON'T USE the big coffee-can style masks because they do contain asbestos. But the standard mask should be fine. If you still don't want to use them, you can buy the Swiss 40mm thread gas mask filters.
