title: Respirator mask design modules and their interactions.
abstract: The respirator performance rating table (PRT) scheme has been offered as a way to organize physiological information to be useful for mask design. Designers do not usually deal exclusively with one kind or another of mask physiological effect. This paper presents normal mask design modules and how they relate to mask physiological effects as given in the PRT.
