| Abstract |
The Racal-Airstream AH-2 was mounted on a dummy head; air-born chrysotile asbestos dust was collected on membrane filters inside and outside the respirator and counted under a phase-contrast microscope. The efficiency of protection was 100%: the chrysotile dust was not detected inside the respirator. |
