Good morning all,

Per ...

Note the advice re the subhead "How Do You Stay Safe Outdoors ?" is "... don't go outdoors".

If this article wasn't written at Harvard, DARPA or RAND, I'd guess it was the scribbling of someone from Portland, Oregon.

 

Might wanna use powered respirator

 

Here's a California wildfire ... oh wait ... it's not just California ... it is not just America ... it is spread across the entirety of Western nations. This fire cannot be put out.

Up in smoke

 

Good morning Varuna,

You're 100% correct !

The entire face must be covered and O2 needed.

For full mask selection, consider:

- can it work with a hard hat / helmet ?

- do you have a requirement to talk with full face mask on ?

- will you need to operate a vehicle with it on ?

Recommend CHECK performance of mask/O2 supply frequently AND ALSO when changing routine eg from walking to driving a vehicle.

The eyes must be protected !

All above is for ground use. There are many more sophisticated requirements for flight operations. Won't even discuss the Jules Verne and 20,000 leagues under the sea bubble heads.

Will glance at links soon.

 

Good morning Old Geezer,

The above linked article is A+ !

An axiom; gospel: "... populace wants first rate infrastructure at second rate price".

I'm familiar with that cancer labeled "CalPERS".

We've got some versions here in Virginia re welfare bonds not needing voter approval.

Had thought I was alone in the wilderness. Will be surfing around economicprism. Great site ! Merci !
