| Abstract |
The real-time measurement of compounds passing through purification cartridges is a way of assessing the efficiency of a respiratory protective device (RPD) for gases and vapours. Resistance-type semi-conductor gas saturation detectors were validated in the laboratory using test benches. Their properties allow highlighting the RPD cartridge saturation phenomenon. This article describes the means of testing developed for this application, provides a comparative survey of detector performance for various exposures to organic solvent vapours and discusses ways of adapting these detectors to RPD-based systems. |
