Title Respirator mask design modules and their interactions
Bibliographic information Dec. 1993, Vol.54, No.12, p.749-751. 2 ref.
Abstract Mask design modules and how they relate to mask physiological effects are presented in a respirator performance rating table scheme. The main factors are: vision, communication, respiration, thermal comfort and physiological effects of elevated temperatures, personal support (e.g., lens design affects the ability of mask wearers to communicate visually), physical and psychological aspects.
