I know MOPP suits are only good for a relatively short period after the plastic wrap they come in is opened ... 24 hours or until taken off, whichever is the lesser is the best figure I have seen ...
(However, I know as a Company Sig back in the day we were ordered to
break the batteries of our AN/PRC-25 Radios in two on something hard when we replaced them every, 24 hours?, to prevent them being from being reused ... the implication being that they were rated for longer periods of use ... so maybe its the same with MOPP suits).
Then there are the filters on the Gas Mask - again, change every 24 hours.
So wearing them all the time would be ... expensive. Dying would be cheaper
