  • Title: Respirator cartridge efficiency studies: VII. Effect of relative humidity and temperature.
    Author: Nelson GO, Correia AN, Harder CA.
    Journal: Am Ind Hyg Assoc J; 1976 May; 37(5):280-8. PubMed ID: 1274855.
    Abstract:
    Cartridge service life is not appreciably affected at relative humidities below 50%. However, performance is severely compromised when the humidity exceeds 65%. Experimental values are compared from those calculated from the adsorption isotherm, Mecklenburg and modified Wheeler equations. Calculations indicate that temperature does not play a significant role in service life predictions.
