"Appareil respiratoire à air libre" : Cette expression nous paraît douteuse : "appareil respiratoire" possède un sens plus général que "masque" et nous voyons mal la corrélation entre "à air libre " et la notion en cause. 1, record 1, French, - masque%20%C3%A0%20adduction%20d%27air

"Masque à canalisation d'air" : Nous n'avons pas pu attester l'expression "à canalisation", en parlant des appareils respiratoires, dans d'autres sources, alors que "à adduction" est une expression très répandue. 1, record 1, French, - masque%20%C3%A0%20adduction%20d%27air
