| Abstract |
The first of these 2 articles describes a procedure for evaluating the protective qualities of gloves, aprons and suits in relation to potential chemical hazards (simply-constructed test apparatus for evaluating penetration by chemical contaminants; penetration as a function of concentration; penetration curve (diffusion plus chemical interaction); sampling chamber; reproducibility; reporting format; using test results). The second article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of flame-retardant cotton (ammonia treated), aramid fiber, and modacrylic fiber; the self-extinguishing qualities of some fabrics, and extent of damage from molten-metal splash. |
