| Abstract |
Features concerning maintenance, weight, reliability, handling and other criteria of compressed air, compressed oxygen, sodium chlorate and potassium superoxide (KO2) respirators are compared. The KO2-respirator is superior to all others except for breathing comfort and costs of training. Unlike the compressed air respirator, it lacks an indicator for the oxygen consumption rate. |
