S. Bureau of Mines who contacted the writer several weeks ago to verify what he had heard apparently from a meeting held in Canada Subsequent to the meeting at McGill Cliff Sheckler and I visited Mr. Schutz to give him on a privileged and confidential basis the information contained in the report He was very much concerned about the results filters from this with MSA lot that Dust Foe he could and asked if we had any unused test in his standard procedure to determine whether a QC problem existed at Mine Safety Appliance Sheckler will check with Bardswick and arrange for transfer of fil- ters if they are available SchSchutz utz thanked us for the information He was also particularly wilimpressed with the data concerning relatively high penetrations at at low fiber concentrations and presumably also for short exposure periods at any concentration Obviously in normal use fibers will will constitute only a part of the dust exposure so that one might expect a greater build of particulates on the mask than was obtained with exposures to pure fiber at 1? fibers Considerable data would have to detail We do not be obtained to investigate this problem in more anticipate doing this in the McGill program December 8 1971 Page 3 MEMO FOR VISIT TO FILE MCGILL UNIVERSITY Bob Schutz informed us being published in the he anticipated that an established in the not that the emertency 2 fiber "lL was 7 FEDERAL REGIVEREGR IVER on December and that emergency 2 2.2.27 limiz might be too distant furar-:. A significant program is now underway at the Los Alamos Laboratory under the direction of Ed Hyatt to evaluate techniques for quan- titating the effectiveness of face fit by different sus using sodium chloride techniques There is a good possibili that this would end up with the requirement for siz masks to meet requirements requirements of different facial characteristics While no further program is contemplated at McGil it appears highly desirable that we maintain good contact with Bob Schutz and establish contact with Ed Hyatt at Los Alamos As a side issue the most recent meeting of the subcommittee of ANS respirator protection was recessed with no action pending the recommendations which are anticipated from both NIOSH and OSHA on the entire question of protection against exposure to asbestos Probably these recommendations will be made in the usual manner with little or no factual basis S.

more Now AO gives you twenty choices for protection The new R3000 and R8000 Respirator Series protect against a wide range of specific respiratory hazards and has several new Bureau of Mines ap- provals for dusts mists fumes organic vapors and paint spray New R3000 and R8000 respirators have filters and cartridges mounted off center so that vision remains unobstructed The new design is the result of thousands of fitting tests to determine facepiece dimensions that provide the ultimate in comfortable contoured facial fit The result is a contoured facepiece which allows R3000 and R8000 to be worn over long periods of time without discomfort or fatigue Both models are equipped with specially designed double- loop headbands of either rubber or elastic which under the slightest tension keep the respirator properly sealed to the face Special headband design permits the user to park the respirator on his chest when not in use The R61 Knitted Cotton Face Cover is available for use on R3000 and R8000 Dust and Mist respirators for added comfort . . especially during hot weather 4 R3000 and R8000 respirators are equipped with a large variety of filtering units and are available for protection against a wide range of toxic air contami- nants as shown at right With one scientifically contoured facepiece and a total of twenty specific hazard filters and cartridges you have a solid answer to the problem of economical respiratory protection To prevent corrosion and thus provide longer service life metal has been practically eliminated And these compact lightweight respirators disassemble fast too for easy cleaning and substitution of alternate parts Each R3000 and R8000 respirator is available with a 700A ventilated rubber goggle or a 701A non- ventilated rubber goggle attached by snaps To order simply add the prefix 70 for 700A goggle or 71 for 701A goggle For example the ordering number R703141 describes a combination which is an R3141 respirator with a 700A goggle Every R3000 and R8000 respirator features AO's new precision Exhalation Valve System for superior performance Exhalation resistance is well below the maximum allowed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines During inhalation and before exhalation the valve flap remains completely sealed At the slightest exhalation however the valve flap opens to allow expelled air to freely leave the mask The valve seat consists of a single piece of molded plastic This valve has a dead air space that provides an important extra margin of safety by making it impossible for contaminated air to enter the respirator through the exhalation valve system This means that in the split second while the valve flap is closing only exhaled air surrounds the valve flap Contaminated air cannot enter 3000 Ordering
