An Electromechanical Breathing Device for Minimal Particle Loss While Inhaling Aerosols

Abstract

The design of an electromechanical breathing mask that minimizes particle loss during inhalation of aerosols from a Provocation box is described. The device measures air flow by means of an anemometer. A provocation example is depicted and the possibility of measuring the provocalion dose is discussed. The breathing device here described has been shown lo be easy to use and to give reliable results.
