Because we were working with materials that were covered in mold we had to wear respirators the whole time we worked on the Czech record project. To be most effective, respirators have to be specially fit and tested for each person. This photo illustrates one of the tests they used to insure that the respirator was working properly. They sprayed a little scent into the hood and then had us move our head around. If we could smell the scent, our respirator was not fitted correctly.
