The Physiological cost of wearing a disposable respirator / Jeffrey G. Jones

Sumario: The use of a disposable respirator is associated with significant physiological costs, especially at moderate and heavy work loads. This paper quantifies some of the physiological costs of using a single-use disposable respirator. Specifically, published information is lacking with regard to resistance to breathing, cardiopulmonary effects, and heat stress imposed by disposable respirators
