  • Title: [The use of individual protective devices for decreasing the microbial contamination of the inhaled air].
    Author: Sedov AV, Akin'shin AV, Tregub TI.
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 1995; (5):42-4. PubMed ID: 7663856.
    Abstract:
    The work was aimed to justify application of gas masks and respirators with autonomous air source fo lower bacterial contamination of inhaled air. The studies also covered possible catch of bacteria by cotton and filters FPP-15-1.5, those composed of antimicrobial materials, containing furagin or copper ions. As the studies proved, for lower bacterial contaminations of inhaled air one can apply autonomous air source apparatus with filters made of Petrianov tissue, antimicrobial tissue (containing furagin or copper ions), as they reduce fungal content of the air. Such filters are self-disinfecting, but do not influence total contamination of the air.
