Final air clearance testing inside the negative pressure enclosure should be performed before the enclosure is removed and the area is reoccupied; or must be performed before the enclosure is removed where susceptible individuals (those allergic to mould, those with low immunity and babies whose lungs are not completely formed) will reoccupy the area. The concentration of mould inside the negative pressure enclosure determined from the air clearance testing should be qualitatively and quantitatively similar to that of outside air or a background sample obtained from an uncontaminated area of the building before the enclosure is removed. 1, record 2, English, - air%20clearance%20testing

L'échantillonnage devrait révéler que la concentration de moisissures dans l'enceinte de confinement à pression négative est qualitativement et quantitativement analogue à celle de l'air extérieur ou à celle d' un échantillon «témoin» prélevé dans une zone non contaminée du bâtiment avant que l'enceinte soit démontée. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chantillonnage%20d%27attestation%20de%20la%20qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27air

The most efficient method of verifying the integrity of a new existing sewer line is through low pressure air testing. To test a line to meet acceptance standards, the line is plugged at both manholes using the isolator Leak Locator Pluggs. The line is then pressurized using the isolator Air Test Panel to control both the plug inflation and test section pressures. To pass the acceptance test, the sewer must retain a specified air pressure for a specific period of time. Failure to hold the pressure indicates that a leak is present. 2, record 4, English, - air%20test

To assess the sensitivity of isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air in detecting airway hyperreactivity in asthmatic children, we studied 13 asthmatic patients ... and 10 normal children. Cold air challenge consisted of 4 minutes of moderate hyperventilation plus another 4 minutes of maximal hyperventilation, both with subfreezing air (-16 degrees to -18 degrees C) ... We conclude that exercise and cold air-induced bronchospasm have different physiologic mechanisms, and that cold air testing can be used as a routine challenge to identify airway hyperreactivity in children. 1, record 7, English, - isocapnic%20hyperventilation%20with%20cold%20air
