Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Visual field loss while wearing full-face respiratory protection

Notes: Sumario: The loss of visual field was quantified for 21 test subjects while they wore three full-face respirators. Changes in visual field were quantified for each type of respirator using a modified Goldmann projection perimeter. The loss of visual field was determined by calculating the area under the curve while wearing a respirator to that while wearing no respirator. Distinct patterns of visual field loss were apparent for the different style respirators. Analysis of the patterns could lead to the design of full-face respirators with improved visual qualities, which could improve worker safety for certain occupations. This technique also could be of help when selecting models of respiratory protection when certain visual fields must be maintainedRelated records: En: American Industrial Hygiene Association journal. - Fairfax, Virginia. - Vol. 55, nº 4, April 1994 ; p. 315-321Materia / lugar / evento: Equipos respiratorios Muestreos Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Máscaras Enfermedades profesionales Lesiones oculares Seguridad de sistemas Otros autores: Mac Kay, Roy T.
