A LASL-developed sodium chloride aerosol filter penetration test has been compared to the silica-dust and silica-mist tests used by NIOSH for respirator approval testing. Filter discs were made from two types of resin impregnated electrostatic felt filter materials and tested at LASL for resistance to air flow and sodium chloride aerosol penetration. Sets of these filters were sent to four respirator manufacturing companies, where silica-dust and silica-mist penetration tests were performed. One set of filters was sent to NIOSH Division of Physical Sciences and Engineering in Cincinnati where sodium chloride aerosol penetration tests were performed by NIOSH personnel.
洛斯阿拉莫斯科学实验室（LASL）开发的氯化钠气溶胶过滤器穿透测试已与美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）用于呼吸器认证测试的二氧化硅粉尘和二氧化硅雾测试进行了比较。滤盘由两种树脂浸渍的静电毡过滤材料制成，并在LASL进行了气流阻力和氯化钠气溶胶穿透测试。这些过滤器被送往四家呼吸器制造公司，在那里进行了二氧化硅粉尘和二氧化硅雾穿透测试。一组过滤器被送往位于辛辛那提的NIOSH物理科学与工程分部，由NIOSH人员进行氯化钠气溶胶穿透测试。
