| Abstract |
Experimental study of the parameters which increase discomfort in wearing respiratory protective equipment. The experiments were carried out with an air-supplied hose mask, weighing 1.5 kg, and 2 different types of compressed air-breathing apparatus, weighing 15 and 20 kg respectively, the subject doing walking and running exercise on a treadmill. Respiratory minute volume and pulse rate were measured. It is concluded that the weight of respiratory protective equipment should not exceed 15 kg. |
