Title Chinese-language labeling of cartridges for air-purifying respirators
Bibliographic information Dec. 1994, Vol.9, No.12, p.961.
Abstract Cartridges for air-purifying respirators almost always have a label printed in English only. Therefore, non-English speakers may be at a disadvantage in the correct application of these cartridges. This brief article contains packaging recommendations for manufacturers of personal protective equipment. A sample label in English for a chemical cartridge with the proposed Chinese-language translation is included.
