Comparison of a sodium chloride aerosol filter test method to silica-dust and silica-mist filter test methods

Journal Article · · Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)
Two types of resin-impregnated electrostatic felt filter materials were tested at LASL to measure NaCl aerosol penetration, and were then shipped to four respirator manufacturers where silica-dust and silica-mist tests were performed. Samples of these two filter materials were also shipped to the NIOSH Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering (DPSE) Laboratory in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the materials were again evaluated for NaCl aerosol penetration. The purpose of the NIOSH DPSE NaCl aerosol evaluation was to determine the reproducibility of NaCl aerosol penetration results. Test procedures and results are described.
