Hazmat suit

Hazmat Suit is an item in Deus Ex that is used to provide resistance to damage from toxins, gases, and radiation for a limited duration. Each hazmat suit takes up one slot in the inventory. Hazmat suits can usually be found near hazardous areas.

Use
Hazmat suits provide resistance to the following damage types:


 * Poison/Poison Effect – Damage caused by tranquilizer darts and Greasel spits.
 * PoisonGas – Damage caused by environment hazards and poison/biohazard barrels.
 * TearGas – Damage caused by gas grenades and the pepper gun.
 * HalonGas – This damage type does not harm the player, but resistance against it is provided.
 * Radiation – Damage caused by radioactive barrels, Grays, and environment hazards.

The amount and duration of resistance depends on the Environmental Training skill as follows:

Despite the in-game description, hazmat suits do not provide any resistance against fire ("flamed and "burned" damage), electricity ("shocked" damage), and EMP.

The function of Hazmat suits overlaps with that of the Environmental Resistance augmentation, which provides resistance against the exact same damage types. If a hazmat suit is worn while Environmental Resistance is active, the two sources of resistance are applied as sequential percentage reductions.
