A simple, lightweight, easily deployable mask designed for use in modern fires. The mask substantially covers a wearer's face and includes a peripheral adhesive seal for preventing contaminants from effecting the wearer's visual or respiratory systems. The peripheral seal preferably comprises an adhesive band employing the skin adhesive commonly used in surgical masks. The adhesive band provides for closed attachment of the mask to the brow, the temporal area, cheek, over the jaw and down under the chin. The mask is anchored firmly to the ears of the wearer by resilient straps. Thus attached, the mask seals the eyes, nasal passages and mouth from the toxic external environment. The mask includes an intermediate seal separating the mask into separate visual and respiratory portions. The mask further includes a particulate filter impregnated with MOLECULITE.RTM. and one, or more frangible vials filled with perfluorocarbon saturated with oxygen which combine to filter out particulates, absorb toxic chemicals and provide a source of oxygen to the wearer.

The method of claim 1, wherein the replenisher consists of first carrier particles comprised of a carrier core with a coating of zinc stearate, and wherein toner is added to the chamber by a second dispenser. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the replenisher additionally contains toner, and a ratio of toner to the first carrier particles coated with zinc stearate is about 2 to about 6 parts toner to about 1 part of the first carrier particles. 11. An imaging device, comprising: a chamber containing developer, a dispenser for dispensing a replenisher comprised of first carrier particles coated with zinc stearate into the chamber containing developer, wherein the developer comprises toner and second carrier particles, and wherein the replenisher has a higher triboelectric value than the developer, and also has a higher triboelectric value than the developer prior to initial use of the developer. 12. The imaging device of claim 11, wherein the replenisher has a higher triboelectric value than the developer prior to initial use of the developer. 13. The imaging device claim 11, wherein an amount of the coating of zinc stearate on the first carrier particles is about 0.01% to about 0.1% by weight of the first carrier particles. 14. The imaging device of claim 11, wherein the replenisher additionally contains toner, and a ratio of toner to the first carrier particles coated with zinc stearate is about 2 to about 6 parts toner to about 1 part of the first carrier particles. 15. The imaging device of claim 11, further comprising an imaging member, means for forming an electrostatic latent image on the imaging member, means for developing the electrostatic latent image to form a toner image using the toner from the developer in the container, and means for transferring the toner image to a substrate.
