This three-page document is a guide to air-purifying respirators (APRs) that work by removing gases, vapors, aerosols (airborne droplets and solid particles), or a combination of contaminants from the air through the use of filters, cartridges, or canisters. These respirators do not supply oxygen from other than the working atmosphere, and therefore cannot be used in an atmosphere that is oxygen-deficient or immediately dangerous to life or health. The guide explains how the appropriate respirator for a particular situation will depend on the environment and the contaminant(s). (PDF)

This 62-page report provides information about a study to compare three delivery methods (i.e., liquids, foam, and gel) of liquid disinfectants on concrete and steel in vertical orientation. It aimed to evaluate liquid-, foam-, and gel-based decontaminants for Bacillus anthracis, to determine if gel and foam additives can increase the effectiveness over liquid when applied to common material types. No significant difference in efficacy in terms of log reduction with the use of foam was observed relative to liquid application. (PDF)
