Well, I don't know a whole lot about SG2, but I *can* tell you that
Space Marine power armour is environmentally sealed (ie, gas/bio weapons
theoretically have no effect) with a fairly hefty air purification
system, with a pair of "air reserve bottles" (most of that backpack
they're wearing).  In addition, the Marines themselves have a couplke of
implants to deal with poisons and toxins, if you want to include that.
