Abstract

A methodology for the physiologic evaluation of an emergency air-breathing escape device to be used by personnel during emergency escape is presented. The device known as an air capsule (AC) was marketed as a universal-fit escape device and had been issued National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) approval number TC-13F-28 as a five-minute self-contained breathing apparatus. Persons involve would have to rapidly remove themselves from a hazardous environment that would include protection from breathing toxic gases.
