| Abstract |
The report reviews the current practices with respect to the replacement of gas-removing respirator cartridges at the expiration of their service life, together with development activities aimed at determining the service life with the help of sensors. The general requirements of German and United States regulations concerning the use and the exchange procedures of gas filter cartridges are discussed. Various principles of existing and developmental gas sensors are presented and their ability to detect the end-of-service life of the respirator elements is discussed. Computer-assisted tools proposed by filter manufacturers for estimating the end of service life are presented. |
