| The result of __________ is an increased likelihood that a hazardous material will permeate and penetrate the garments | Degradation |
| Type of degradation that weakens the material by exposure to chemicals. | Chemical |
| Caused by rubbing against rough surfaces, or leaning/brushing against sharp objects. | Physical Degradation |
| Stiffness or excess pliability, Tears, cuts, and abrasions, Damage to zippers or closures, and soft or sticky areas are indications of | material degradation |
| Movement of a chemical through suits closures, cracks or tears | Penetration |
| Process which a hazardous material moves through a given material on the molecular level | Permeation |
| A disadvantage of Type 1 is | communications |
| Advantage: cools entire body Disadvantage: requires an airline and large amounts of breathable air | Air cooled |
| Advantage:inexpensive and lightweight, improve worker comfort, decrease lens fogging, and are "user friendly" Disadvantage: Add additional bulk and weight to the responders equipment, require an ice source at the scene | Ice cooled |
| Advantages: most effective, can also be used as a warming system in cold conditions Disadvantage: adds weight and bulk, requires an ice supply | Water cooled |
| Advantage: creates a constant temperature and works in harmony with the body, works according to the same principles as a conventional refrigerator Disadvantage: Cost and requires ice water to cool vest | Phase change technology |
| While selecting protective clothing use the criteria established by | EPA and OSHA |
| what is Low dexterity, Low visibility, and communication issues. | Physical Stresses |
| Claustrophobia is what type of stress | Psychological |
| Excessive sweating, urge to defecate, and weakness are symptoms of what heat stress | Heat exhaustion |
| Weakness, confusion, seizures, and stomach pains are symptoms for what type of heat stress | Heatstroke |
| Muscle cramps, weakness, and heavy perspiration are symptoms of what type of heat stress | Heat cramps |
| Can cause a chemical reaction and spontaneously combust | Adsorption |
| The interaction of a hazardous liquid and a solid sorbent surface which stays rigid, with no volume increase. | Adsorption |
| Although they are more suited for decontaminating the are around the spill or the equipment they can be used to decontaminate personnel | Absorption |
| Process by which materials hold liquids | Absorption |
| applying a cover of gas over the surface of a hazardous material; usually a liquid | Blanketing |
| Protect or contain the stored product to prevent it from harming personnel, equipment, or the environment | Blanketing |
