A

Permeation

38
Q

Material characteristics are altered by chemical. Cracking, brittleness, disintegration, melting, discoloration, swelling, deterioration, loss of strength

A

Chemical degradation

39

A

Scba, splash highest respiratory, lesser skin, no vapor or gas, encapsulating or non.

47
Q

Level c suits

A

Same as level b but respiratory is lower. is not Scba, rather APR or papr. O2 needs to be normal. Splash, no vapor or gas

Methods to reduce heat exposure and illness

A 
Fluid consumption. 
Air cooling
Ice cooling
Water cooling
Cooling vests
Rehab areas
Work rotation
Proper fluids
Physical fitness
60
Q

Fluid consumption guidelines for managing heat and fluid loss

A

7 ounces 15-20 min better than drinking a lot at once. Chilled water before work, room temp water after work to not shock body core temp.

61
Q

Cold exposure illness

A

Trench foot, frost bite, hypothermia.

62
