CHAPTER 36: HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS RESPONDER PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT CORRECT
100%
A respirator that removes specific air contaminants by passing ambient air through one
or more air purification components. (NFPA 1984) - ANSWER Air-purifying respirator
Clothing (suit fabrics) specifically designed to inhibit or resist the passage of chemicals
into and through the material by the process of penetration, permeation, or degradation.
- ANSWER Chemical- resistant materials
A chemical action involving the molecular breakdown of a protective clothing materials
or equipment due to contact with a chemical. (NFPA 1072) - ANSWER Degradation
A state in which the body's fluid losses are greater than fluid intake. If left untreated,
dehydration may lead to shock and even death. - ANSWER Dehydration
Protective clothing designed to protect the wearer for short-term high temperature
exposures. (NFPA 1072) - ANSWER High temperature-protective clothing
Personal protective equipment that provides against vapours, gases, mists, and even
dusts. The highest level of protection, it requires a totally encapsulating suit that
includes a self-contained breathing apparatus. - ANSWER Level A ensemble
Personal protective equipment that is used when the type and atmospheric
concentration of substances require a high level of respiratory protection but less skin
protection. The kinds of gloves and boots worn depends on the identified chemical. -
ANSWER Level B ensemble
The U.S. federal agency responsible for research and development on occupational
safety and health issues. - ANSWER National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
The movement of a material through a suit's closures, such as zippers, buttonholes,
seams, flaps, or other designs features of chemical-protective clothing, and through
punctures, cuts, and tears. (NFPA 1072) - ANSWER Penetration
A chemical action involving the movement of chemicals, on a molecular level, through
intact material. (NFPA 1072) - ANSWER Permeation
