About this ebook
On average, the expendable materials required to conduct testing of one garment is estimated at $75. These costs for assessing the presence of contamination must be added to the price of the garment and the costs of garment decontamination, inspection, maintenance, and storage in any estimate of the total cost of the garment. By dividing these costs among the number of times the garment is used, one can estimate a cost/use for the garment. By comparing the cost/use value for various garment and garment use scenarios, one can develop guidelines for when it is financially advantageous to reuse a single garment multiple times or use multiple new garments a single time. This study was preliminary in nature and focused primarily on CPC. The procedure requires pre-positioning of protective clothing material swatches on the firefighter's CPC or destruction of the CPC. Both approaches are impractical.
