Respiratory Parameters-Based Approach to Assessing Dust Loading

Abstract

The idea of assessing the respiratory organs’ protection means has been considered, that takes into account the dust penetration coefficient and dynamics of the worker’s cardio respiratory parameters under working conditions. The individual samplers’ speed is proposed to be controlled by means of the lung ventilation while dust loading inside and outside the individual protection means is to be determined. This enables assessing them by a conventional performance factor taking into account cardio respiratory parameters as well.
