Resistance of a Surgical Mask Worn Over an N95 Filtering Facepiece
Respirator. (This National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [NIOSH/CDC] study was
undertaken in 2007 to estimate the effect on breathing resistance of a
surgical mask used as a barrier over an N95 filtering facepiece and has
been published in the Spring/Summer 2008 Journal of the International
Society for Respiratory Protection, Vol. 25)

if concurrent wearing of an N95 respirator increases the protection
afforded the wearer of a powered air-purifying respirator, has been
