In this episode, Terry Gorman, 3M’s Lead Application Engineer
for the Personal Safety Division in Australia and New Zealand joins
host Mark Reggers for the first of a two-part series to discuss
bushfires and respiratory protection.
Bushfire smoke generates a gigantic volatile cocktail of
hydrocarbons of various sizes, shapes and toxicity. Measuring the
degree of respiratory hazard exposure from bushfire smoke is never
easy as there are many factors at play during the blaze.
Respiratory protection in these unpredictable conditions is
critical, which, when used correctly and paired to the
circumstances, can significantly reduce your exposure.
