Although this first step of anthropometric measurements indicates the Arabs have narrower faces than typically found among North Americans, it does not immediately follow that adequate fits cannot be achieved with full-face respirators presently available. The second step then will be to perform qualitative and quantitative fit tests. The survey does imply, however, that where full-facepiece respirators are available in wide and narrow sizes, the ratio of narrow to wide ones purchased should be adjusted to reflect the underlying population.
虽然人体测量的第一步表明阿拉伯人的面部比北美人群普遍的面部更窄，但这并不意味着目前现有的全面罩呼吸器无法实现合适的贴合度。接下来的第二步将是进行定性和定量的贴合度测试。然而，该调查确实表明，在有宽窄不同尺寸的全面罩呼吸器可供选择的情况下，所购买的窄型与宽型呼吸器的比例应进行调整，以反映潜在人群的情况。
