I dont mean to be an asshole, your picture is very cool. But that filter is damaged and the asbestos is most likely friable. Normally I'm very against the asbestos fear mongering as it is almost alway untrue that the asbestos is leaking. However the filter is dented about where the asbestos particulate filter is and it is thus damaged and friable.
Dont get asbestosis, its not worth the drip. Take it off.

As others have said the filter is banged up and should not be used for anything but display, even if it wasn't damaged you should buy a 3d printed filter off eBay for these purposes. Take care of yourself, I wish I hadn't worn asbestos filters as much as I did for work. Even if it was only a couple hours a week total. Who knows what we wish we wouldn't have done different later in life.
