Project Scope
- Develop a predictive model
- Select test fabrics and determine physical properties
- Conduct laboratory experiments
- Conduct data analysis and model comparison
Milestones
- Q1 Complete model improvement (Task D1) and Complete selection of test fabrics (Task D2.1)
- Q2 Complete characterizing relation between wind velocity and face velocity (Task D3.1.1)
- Q3 Complete measuring particle penetration through fabrics using a modified TSI 3160, including 18 different particle sizes from 10 nm to 500 nm at 6 different face velocities (Tasks D3.1.2 & D3.2)
- Q4 Complete two draft manuscripts (Task D5)
|
Outputs
- Final report, published papers
- National/International conference(s) presentation
Outcomes
- The predictive models can be used by government agencies, standards development organizations, and professional organizations to improve and/or develop scientifically appropriate guidance documents, protective clothing performance requirements, and test methods
- Particle penetration data from this study can be used to improve NIOSH guidance on the penetration of nanoparticles through protective clothing and ensembles
