• Self-Contained Self-Rescuer Field Evaluation: Sixth-Phase Results
  7/1/2000 - Information Circulars
  This report presents findings regarding laboratory-tested SCSRs in the sixth phase of testing from mid-1996 to early 1998. The SCSRs were tested on human subjects and on a breathing and metabolic simulator.
• Performance Comparison of Rescue Breathing Apparatus
  10/1/1999 - Reports of Investigations
  A performance comparison of 14 rescue breathing apparatus was undertaken as an assessment of past and present worldwide technology. Rescue breathing apparatus are self-contained, closed-circuit breathing apparatus used for entry into areas having atmosp...
