| Abstract |
Physical tests concerned the permeability of the masks to sodium chloride aerosol (salt), friction losses at continuous air speeds of 30-95L/min and filter clogging rates. Physiological tests concerned the reduction of the visual field, the increase in the effective dead space, the increased need for respiratory effort and total leakage rates. Tables present for each test the corresponding French standardised values, to which masks and filtering facepieces must conform. |
