Three primary ways CPC effectiveness is reduced are
Permeation
Degradation
Penetration
What is a chemical process that occurs when a chemical passes through a fabric on a molecule level?. no visible evidence of chemicals..
Permeation p. 358
What may be chemical or physical, occurs when contact with chemical substance alters the characteristics of a material.. ( discolor, swell, loss of physical strength, or deterioration can indicate material…. )
degradtion
What occurs when direct pressure causes strains to the suit ( tears, punctures, cuts, and abrasions)
Physical degradation
What is a physical process that occurs when has this material enters an opening or a puncture in a protective material?
Penetration
Exposures to sound greater than ‘’ decibels can cause structural damage to the inner air, resulting in permanent hair loss and or tinnitus
85
Hearing protection devices include
Foam plugs
Molding/pre-molding flanged
Earmuffs p. 359
What is the most significant root of entry for hazardous materials?
Annihilation making respiratory protection, a primary concern
Responded to the following basic types of protective breathing equipment at hazmat/WMD incident:
SCBA
Supplied air respirators( SAR)
Air purified respirators( APR)
Combined respirators
Supplied air hoods
General face peace limitations include
Limited visibility
Decrease ability to communicate
Psychological stress
p. 361
What is perhaps the most important piece of PPE responder wear to hazmat incident?
SCBA
SCBA consist of ?
Face peace
Pressure reg
Air hoses
Compressed air cylinder
Harness assembly end of time indicator p. 362
NIOSh classifies SCBA as either
Open circuit or close circuit
Major limiting factor with SCBA is
Air Supply limiting Work duration
SCBA cylinders up how many pounds to the responder

What is an atmosphere supplying respirator that provides air from a stationary source of compressed breathing air to which the user is tethered BN air hose or line?
Supplied air respirator ( SAR)
SAR consist of
Face
Face piece or belt mountain reg
Voice communication system
Up to 300 feet of air supply
Emergency escape pack
Do not use SAR for’’ .. Use for ‘’
Firefighting operations or entry off IDLH atmospheres.
Used for exiting a IDLH atmosphere p. 364
What contain a filter?, canister or cartridge that removes specific contaminants as ambient air passes through the air purifying elements.
Air purifying respirators( APRS)
Another type of APR is the
Powered air purifying respirator ( PAPR )
What is a motorized respirator that uses a filter to clean surrounding air then deliver deliver the filtered air to user ..
Powered air purifying respirator
the PAPR typically includes
A hood, helmet or face
Breathing
Motor blower unit with filter
Battery p. 365
Do not use’’ an oxygen deficient or media dangerous to like health atmospheres
APRs
Limitations of APR include
Service life of filters
Constant monitoring of the atmosphere
High humidity reduce the service life of
High temp reduce filter
Specific cartridges needed, depending on chemicals
These purifying respirator elements are generally divided into three categories
Particle removing filters
Vapor and gas removing
Combination particle- removing and vapors and removing filters p. 366
Particle removing filters used with half or full face mask protection against toxic ‘’ x 5
Dust
Mist
Metal
Asbestos
And some biological hazards
Particle mask commonly referred to as ?
Dusk masks p. 367
OSHA requires the color coating of canisters and cartridges so it is easy to see what ‘’ the canister cartridge protects against
Contaminants
Combo respirators function, and what two modes
Respiratory or supplied air
Combo respirators include
SAR/SCBA
PAPR/SCBA
SAR/APR P. 368
What provides loose, lightweight, respiratory protection for people with glasses, beards facial, deformity or scars
Supply air hood
what meet NIOSH standards as class three respiratory protection
Supplied air hoods
Skin protection has varying degrees of protection under two main categories, which are
Thermal and ballistic protective clothing
Chemical protective clothing p. 369
What protects against both hot and cold exposures?
Thermal protective clothing
What a peril protects responders when they work in area with minimal risk for exposure to flash fires and electric arc discharge
Flame resistance, protective clothing p. 370
Structural firefighter clothing with SUVs will provide limited or no protection against
Project
Sharpnel
Other mechanical effects from a blast p. 371
What protective clothing protects the wear from short term exposures to high temperature heat levels beyond the capacities of standard firefighting protective clothing
High temperature protective clothing
Two types of high-temp clothing include
proximity suit
Fire entry suit
What permits close approach to a fire for rescue, fire suppression and property conservation activities, such as an aircraft rescue
proximity suit
What allows a person to work in total flame environment for for short period of time and provide short duration and close proximity protection at read and heat temperature this has 2000
Fire entry suits p. 372
What protects the user from short-term exposures to super cold materials such as cryogenics
Low temperature protective clothing
Hazards of working with or around extremely low temperatures of cryogenic liquids or vapors include
Skin tissue damage from frostbite/ burns
Asphyxiation due to displacement of oxy
Overpressurization of storage container can result in rupture /explosion

Brittle and crack
What protects the user against bull, handheld weapons, and sharpnel from explosives
Ballistic protective clothing p. 373
NFPA identifies’’ classes of CBRN protective assembles:
5
class ‘’ ensemble provides the wearer the highest level skin and respiratory protection from vapor and liquid spray concentration above IDLH. Equivalent to OSHA/EPA level A
class 1
Class’’ ensemble provides wearer the second level of respiratory protection, but less skin protection in class, one from low levels of vapors/liquid splash concentrations at or above IDLH. This assembly is equivalent to OSHA/EPA level B.
class b
class ‘’ ensemble provides the wearer low levels of vapor and liquid chemical protection from concentrations below IDL H.. it’s equivalent to OSHA/EPA level C PPE
Class C
class ‘’ ensemble provides the wearer skin and respiratory protection from biological and radiological particle at concentrations below IDLH .. Contains no chemical barrier requirement
class 4
class ‘’ ensemble will be a combo of thermal and chemical protection similar to traditional firefighter, protective clothing, but less insulated and more splash protection… Should not be dawned for flammable environments
class 5 p. 377
Increase comfort levels will help her reduce responders stress. This reduced stress can both increase. x2
