National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Morgantown, WV 26505, USA
AIHA J (Fairfax, Va) 63:135-40. 2002..The first four compounds were found to be the dominant UMVOCs on gypsum board, which could be used as chemical markers of the common Aspergillus species grown indoors...
Evaluation of nano- and submicron particle penetration through ten nonwoven fabrics using a wind-driven approachPengfei Gao
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, USA

Development of a computer program for permeation testing data analysisPengfei Gao
National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, USA
J Occup Environ Hyg 6:363-73. 2009..The Permeation Calculator is available either on the NIOSH website or on CD by request...
Performance evaluation of 26 combinations of chemical protective clothing materials and chemicals after repeated exposures and decontaminationsPengfei Gao
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, USA
J Occup Environ Hyg 8:625-35. 2011..4%) with the detergent method. Less than half of the changes were found statistically different (p < 0.05). Generally, the thermal method had higher decontamination efficacy than the detergent method...
A recirculation aerosol wind tunnel for evaluating aerosol samplers and measuring particle penetration through protective clothing materialsPeter A Jaques
URS Corporation, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, USA
Ann Occup Hyg 55:784-96. 2011..20. Negligible agglomerate growth and particle loss are suggested. The recirculation design appears to result in unique features as needed for our research...
Change in tensile properties of neoprene and nitrile gloves after repeated exposures to acetone and thermal decontaminationPengfei Gao
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, USA
J Occup Environ Hyg 2:543-52. 2005..The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of the decontamination process cannot be based on permeation parameters alone but must also take into account the change in physical properties...
Change in permeation parameters and the decontamination efficacy of three chemical protective gloves after repeated exposures to solvents and thermal decontaminationsPengfei Gao
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15236, USA
Am J Ind Med 47:131-43. 2005..However, decontamination may change the physical and/or chemical properties of the barrier material, causing variations in breakthrough time (BT) and steady-state permeation rate (SSPR)...
Volatile metabolites produced by three strains of Stachybotrys chartarum cultivated on rice and gypsum boardPengfei Gao
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
Appl Occup Environ Hyg 17:430-6. 2002..Our findings also indicate that volatiles produced by S. chartarum may represent a relatively small fraction of the total volatiles present in problem buildings where Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., and other fungi usually coexist...
Review of chamber design requirements for testing of personal protective clothing ensemblesPengfei Gao
National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Pittsburgh, PA 15236, USA
J Occup Environ Hyg 4:562-71. 2007..However, existing chambers can likely be adapted to accommodate MIST with some modifications...
