Senior Airman Ants Vahk (right), 92nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron bioenvironmental engineering journeyman performs a respirator fit test for Staff Sgt. Nathan Gilbert (left), 141st Maintenance Squadron metals technician, Dec. 7, 2016 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. The test is performed by hooking up a respirator to a machine called a Porta Count. One hose connects to the mask and takes account for the atmosphere within the mask, while a second hose takes in a sample from the surrounding environment that is outside the mask. The machines performs a calculation based on how many particles are outside the mask versus how many are leaking inside the mask and determines if the mask is being effective.
