Disease relevance of Respiratory Protective Devices

• Two soldiers, not wearing gas masks breathed hexite for 1 or 2 min, they slowly developed severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) over the ensuing 2 weeks [1].

High impact information on Respiratory Protective Devices

• 42 CFR Part 84: Respiratory protective devices implications for tuberculosis protection [2].
• Subsequently, toluene concentrations in the air inhaled by workers with and without gas masks were estimated by single and multiple regression equations [3].
• Assessment of triethylamine and diethylamine emission from military gas mask canisters [4].
• A study was undertaken to evaluate the suitability of four types of amine modified charcoal filter canisters (cartridge) for use with gas masks (respirators) by measuring emissions of triethylamine (TEA) and diethylamine (DEA) [4].
• METHODS: Two workers acutely exposed to methyl bromide with inadequate respiratory protective devices were poisoned [5].

Associations of Respiratory Protective Devices with chemical compounds

• Respiratory protective devices were the most effective means for reducing styrene absorption [6].
• Evaluation of CO2 accumulation in respiratory protective devices [7].
• Mortality of two groups of women who manufactured gas masks from chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos: a 40-year follow-up [8].
• Carbon tetrachloride replacement compounds for organic vapor air-purifying respirator cartridge and activated carbon testing--a review [9].
• It was, therefore, concluded that cyclohexane can be recommended as the alternative vapor of CCl4 for testing the breakthrough times of gas mask cartridges and canisters in the National Approval Test [10].

Gene context of Respiratory Protective Devices

• Subjects wore U.S. Army M40 full-facepiece air-purifying respirators with hoods [11].
• Pulmonary function was studied in forty-six male flour mill workers who worked without the benefit of flour dust control ventilation or respiratory protective devices and a similar number of male control subjects [12].
