Abstract
This paper describes chemical protective clothing (CPC) types, permeation theory, and selection of protective clothing based upon permeation data. Other factors in the selection process, such as size, dexterity, cut resistance, tear resistance, cost, and heat stress, are discussed. In addition, temperature, thickness, and mixture considerations and their effect on the permeation process are discussed. Recommendations are made regarding selection and use criteria.Keywords
