L'insonorisation se fait à l'aide de matériaux acoustiques du type absorbants.

"Whenever you do a renovation, there are always inherent difficulties," says Haas. "One of the critical issues we had to deal with was the mechanical ductwork (for heating, air-conditioning and plumbing). It's absolutely essential that noise from these systems not enter the main hall. Well, of course the old ductwork in that building was pretty noisy. But we were able to replace all the ducts that run through the theater itself, which amounted to about 25 percent of the ductwork in the building." 5, record 4, English, - mechanical%20duct

Les appareils respiratoires isolants. Ces matériels isolent totalement le porteur du milieu ambiant. Ils peuvent donc être utilisés quelles que soient la nature et la concentration du gaz toxique ainsi que dans les atmosphères déficientes en oxygène. [On distingue] les appareils isolants non autonomes : ils fonctionnent avec un «fil à la patte». Le masque est alimenté par un simple tuyau relié à l'air libre(longueur 10 m maximum) ou branché sur une conduite d’air comprimé en moyenne pression [...] Les appareils respiratoires isolants autonomes : ce sont les seuls utilisés en incendie et sauvetage. Leur durée d’utilisation est limitée par la réserve d’air ou d’oxygène respirable contenue dans l'appareil.

There are three types of respiratory protection: air-purifying respirators, supplied-air respirators and self-contained breathing apparatus. ... Supplied-air respirators provide breathable air from an outside source and protect against very toxic particulates and gases at high concentrations. They have a compressed air source and an air hose connecting the air source to the breathing mask. The respirators may have half facepieces, full facepieces, hoods or helmets and the oxygen is supplied by pressure demand or continuous flow. 3, record 6, English, - continuous%20flow
