ABSTRACT- PROJECT SUMMARY The research project will develop and evaluate methods for rapidly respirator-enabling many persons (surge response) and workers in small workplaces without access to occupational health experts. The work will compare three training methods (printed brochure, video, and computer-based). Factors determining respirator tolerance will be investigated. These include multi-domain subjective responses and physiologic factors such as respiratory pattern and work of breathing adjustment. The effect of personal factors such as health status and psychophysical respiratory load sensitivity will be investigated. The work will include methods to facilitate mask size selection (e.g., facial dimension) and the use of thermal imaging to identify facial sealing surface leakage. Quantitative fit testing, simulated work performance, and tolerance will be evaluated immediately after training and after six months. A diverse group of subjects will be recruited and will include English and Spanish speakers; elastomeric half facemask and filtering facepiece respirators will be used. The proposed cross sector research will build upon recent investigations and potentially lead to more effective respiratory protection programs.

摘要-项目概要 该研究项目将开发和评估快速启用呼吸器的方法 小型工作场所中的许多人（激增响应）和工人无法获得 职业健康专家。该作品将比较三种训练方法（印刷 小册子、视频和基于计算机的）。决定呼吸器耐受性的因素是 调查了。这些包括多领域主观反应和生理因素 例如呼吸模式和呼吸调节工作。个人效果 健康状况和心理物理呼吸负荷敏感性等因素将受到影响 调查了。这项工作将包括促进面罩尺寸选择的方法（例如，面部 尺寸）并使用热成像来识别面部密封面泄漏。 将评估定量适合性测试、模拟工作表现和耐受性 培训后立即和六个月后。多元化的科目将会 招募的人员中将包括讲英语和西班牙语的人员；弹性半面罩和 将使用过滤式面罩呼吸器。拟议的跨部门研究将建立 根据最近的调查，可能会导致更有效的呼吸保护 程序。
