Abstract
A device for displaying the exhaustion of a gas filter filled with an adsorbent (3). A toxic gas detector (14) determines the toxic gas content at a sampling site (8) within the adsorbent (3). A reference sampling site (12) is located in the area of a gas inlet point (6) of the gas filter (2). The toxic gas detector is designed such that it determines the toxic gas content alternately at the sampling sites (8, 12), and the exhaustion of the filter is determined by a comparison of the toxic gas content at the sampling site (8) with the toxic gas content at the reference sampling site (12).
