Homeland-security professionals working in what are calledLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) environments would be particularly interested in any PPE gear or equipment item that helps them breathe more safely, more easily, and for a longer period of time in such environments.

That is exactly what the Scott BioPak 240 Revolution provides – long-duration respiratory protection – said Marty Lorkowski, industrial marketing manager-Americas for Scott Health. The “best option” for working in hazardous, “potentiallyLH, environments,” he told DPJ, “is a four-hour re-breather.” His company, he continued, “offers the most advanced re-breather on the market today.” He described the Scott Biopak 240 Revolution as “a closed-circuit breathing apparatus [CCBA] that will provide 240 minutes of oxygen” – enough, he pointed out, to keep the wearer “safe and comfortable during long wear times,” such as those likely in mass-casualty evacuations.

In addition to the BioPak 240 and other CCBA units, Scott offers a number of other “respiratory solutions” for homeland-preparedness professionals, including CBRN (chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear) APR (air-purifying respirator) and SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) systems, Lorkowski said. Of particular interest to decision makers and budget analysts at all levels of government, he pointed out, is that Scott “always” offers “the lowest cost of ownership” for all of its SCBA systems – including, he emphasized, “the BioPak 240 Revolution.”
