SOC can deploy Supplied Air Respirators fed by hoselines from an Airsource Cart.
Describe the operation of an EDSCBA. How does it work? (2.2)
Exhaled air is scrubbed thru a filter to remove Carbon Dioxide. A small amount of pure oxygen is added to replace the oxygen the wearer consumes. A block of dry ice cools the recycled air.
