Human-Centered Design of a Civilian Self-Rescue Breathing Apparatus for Early-Stage Structural Fires

2026-04-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study presents a human-centered design approach to the development of a civilian self-rescue breathing apparatus intended for use during early-stage structural fires. Civilian fire fatalities are predominantly caused by smoke inhalation rather than direct exposure to flames, particularly within the first minutes following fire ignition. Existing respiratory protection systems are e...
