|
 | A number of methods are described for determining the position leaks in the facial seal of a gas mask, among which there are: measuring the transport of sounds and light through leaks, measuring the deposition of aerosols on the face near leaks, and determining the amount of a gas that leaks into the mask at specific positions within the mask by means of samplers. The first three methods are complicated ... |

|
 | This objective of this project was to verify by direct measurement the filtration efficiency of the gas mask C2A1 canister in light of new bioaerosol threats. HEPA filters are routinely tested using an oil aerosol at the most penetrating particle diameter at 0.3 micrometer to verify that the efficiency is at least 99.97%. The program addressed two questions: 1. What is the filtration efficiency of the C2A1 canister under use ... |

|
 | The current method used by the U.S. military to assess mask performance uses a polydisperse corn oil aerosol of 0.4 to 0.6 micron mass median aerodynamic diameter as a simulant challenge atmosphere. Data are presently lacking regarding the effect of particle size and aerosol sensing instruments on the measured protection factor (PF). Data are also lacking regarding the correlation of PFs measured using an insert aerosol challenge, such as the ... |

 | The feasibility of developing an advanced filter prototype for a new mask concept was assessed. Aerosol filtration media were screened for airflow resistance, aerosol filtration efficiency, and resistance to battlefield contaminants. The most promising medium, an electret (designated AEM2), was selected. An immobilized (bonded) ASZM TEDA carbon bed was used for the vapor adsorbent. The effect of bed depth and airflow velocity on CK and DMMP gas life and airflow ... |

|
 | Aerosols encountered in reality often differ with respect to shape and size from test aerosols used to certify filters. For this reason a study has been performed to produce test aerosols of various shapes in order to investigate the influence of particle shape on the penetration through some fibrous filters. With a Condensation Monodisperse Aerosol Generator, aerosols of several shapes besides the standard spherical oil-particles were produced: (1) rod-shaped caffeine ... |

|
 | Until now the protection factors of the FM 12 gas mask have been measured under laboratory conditions; this limits the possibility to simulate the practical circumstances. From the literature it is known that the value of the protection factors, measured under more or less ideal circumstances, are too optimistic. In practice they can be significantly lower. At the request of the DMKL, TNO-PML performed a survey to see if it ... |

|
 | In support of the development of the penetrant protective carbon (PPC), the stability of the amine impregnants on the carbon surface was investigated. Two amine-impregnated carbons were subjected to a flow of warm, humid air (to stimulate actual use inside a gas-mask canister) in determining the extent of amine desorption under these conditions. This report described in detail the development of a test apparatus for this purpose, and the analytical ... |

 | This report concerns the design of a field experiment for a military setting in which the effects of carbon monoxide on neurobehavioral variables are to be studied. A field experiment is distinguished from a survey by the fact that independent variables are manipulated, just as in the laboratory. Thus, causal relationships may be discovered rather than correlations. It was proposed to study the effects of multiple levels of Co exposure ... |

|
 | A residual filter life test has been developed involving the use of a weakly adsorbed vapor to 'count' available adsorption sites. The method was developed for military filters containing ASC carbon to determine when the physical adsorption capacity of a filter had been depleted to the extent that change-out is required. The procedure requires measurement of the time for a challenge chemical (ammonia) to appear in the filter effluent with ... |

 | Today the threat of chemical warfare is real. The only effective defense is the use of chemical defense gear and gas masks. Since they render chemical warfare gases and liquids impermeable to penetration, they also prohibit sweat evaporation in conditions of thermal stress and thus, contribute to heat illness development. Historically, it has been the hot, humid tropics where United Nation's peacekeeping forces have been called, thus the use of ... |

|
 | Activated carbon, or charcoal, is commonly used in adsorption beds to remove unwanted vapors from air in ventilating systems and in personal protective respirators. The vapor molecules become trapped by adsorption on the extensive surface of the charcoal and hence are removed for the air stream. However, this trapping is not permanent. These adsorbed molecules can desorb again into the passing air stream and be carried along to another adsorption ... |

 | A parallel pleated HEPA filter has been developed to reduce the pressure drop across the Navy ND-C-1 filter by increasing the surface area in a minimal amount of space. The pressure drop was reduced by 594 percent due to an increase in the effective surface area of 677 percent. Spacing of the pleats was accomplished by dispensing adhesive and thread simultaneously on the surface of the filter media. This produced ... |
