Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff initiated an evaluation in 2003 to review the audibility effectiveness of smoke alarms in residential homes. In this report, sound loss of a smoke alarm signal as it travels in a home is examined to determine the impact this may have on alerting occupants to a fire hazard. Sound loss measurements of smoke alarm signals in actual homes are compared to sound levels required to alert adults (without hearing or other impairment). The CPSC staff conducted sound loss measurements in three different test homes using single station smoke alarms...".

Download or read book A Review of the Sound Effectiveness of Residential Smoke Alarms written by Arthur Lee and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) initiated a project to review the audibility effectiveness of residential smoke alarms for the older population. The scope of the project was broadened to address recent concerns that children may not wake to the sound of a smoke alarm. The CPSC staff estimates that in 1999 there were 337,300 unintentional residential structure fires resulting in 2,390 civilian deaths, 14,550 civilian injuries, and $4.24 billion in property losses. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that, during the 24-year period from 1977 to 2001, home fires and home fire deaths dropped 49% and 47% respectively, excluding events from September 11,2001. In 2001, four of every five fire deaths occurred in home structure fires, excluding 9/11, according to NFPA.

Download or read book Infection Control in the Audiology Clinic written by Aukse Bankaitis and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for this book evolved from our first book infection Control in the Hearing Aid Clinic which was written for dispensing audiologists, other dispensing professionals, andgraduatee students with the intention of addressing the role of infection control and providing practical application of infection control procedures in the hearing aid clinic. Certainly, the scope of practice in audiology extends well beyond hearing aid dispensement and is represented by an expansive continuum of services that are necessary to meet the diagnostic and rehabilitative needs of individuals with auditory and vestibular disorders. As with our first book, the goal of this book is to provide audiologists and audiology students with information on fundamental concepts in the area of infectious disease in the audiology clinic. While some information pertaining to infectious disease and regulatory agencies is standard and has not changed from the first book. The rest of the information most relevant to the audiology clinic. As health care providers, audiologists not only focus on the diagnostic and rehabilitative needs of patients, but on other matters that influencee what may be in the best interest of their patients. Infection control represents one of those elements that can significantly impact overall the health of the patients.
Book Synopsis Possible Technologies for Improving the Audibility of Residential Smoke Alarms for Older Adults by : Arthur Lee
Download or read book Possible Technologies for Improving the Audibility of Residential Smoke Alarms for Older Adults written by Arthur Lee and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, there were an estimated 36 million people in the United States over the age of 65 years - just over 12% of the U.S. population. During the 20th century, the number of people 65 years and over grew from 3 million to 35 million, and is projected to grow to almost 87 million by 2050. According to a 1999 report by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), residential fires injure approximately 3,000 older adults each year. In comparison to the rest of the population, older adults - those over 65 years of age - represent one of the highest fire risk groups in the United States. For 1999, the fire death rate for people over 65 is 25.3 fire deaths per million, or more than twice the national average. The fire death rate increases for older age groups. For those over the age of 75, the fire death rate (32.9 fire deaths per million) is about three times the national average. Causes for the higher death rates among older adults may be associated with the physical and mental challenges related to aging. One concern is that seniors may not adequately hear or respond to smoke alarms because they commonly experience hearing loss in the frequency range at which smoke alarms operate. In 2003, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff initiated a project to review the audibility effectiveness of residential smoke alarms. Currently, residential smoke alarms operate at sound frequencies that may produce alarm sound characteristics poorly suited for the older population. A report of the CPSC staff work, A Review of the Sound Effectiveness of Residential Smoke Alarms, was released in 2004. The report presented a literature review of the sound effectiveness of residential smoke alarms in producing audible signals suitable for alerting older adults and for waking sleeping children. The staff also reviewed possible alternatives or modifications to current smoke alarms, such as changes in smoke alarm horn frequency, cues, or other methods that may improve alarm sound effectiveness. This report summaries work conducted by the CPSC staff to examine the feasibility of applying technical solutions, such as modifications to residential smoke alarms or the addition of secondary devices that could be triggered by an activated smoke alarm, to improve the sound effectiveness for smoke alarms. The CPSC staff built several prototype smoke alarms that could communicate with secondary devices capable of alarming at lower frequency tones. The ultimate goal of these improvements is to increase the available escape time for occupants, especially for older adults. The CPSC staff believes that improvements in smoke alarm sound effectiveness could lead to an increase in available escape time for occupants in a residential fire. The use of interconnected smoke alarms and lower frequency alarm tones may result in improved audibility, especially for older adults, which could lead to a reduction in the number of fire deaths and injuries.

Department of Commerce and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the project and provides details of the response of a range of residential smoke alarm technologies in a controlled laboratory test and in a series of real-scale tests conducted in two different residential structures. The data developed in this study include measurement of temperature and smoke obscuration in addition to gas concentrations for a range of fire scenarios and residences. The results are intended to provide both insight into siting and response characteristics of residential smoke alarms and a set of reference data for future enhancements to alarm technology based on fires from current materials and constructions.

Consistent with prior findings, ionization type alarms provide somewhat better response to flaming fires than photoelectric alarms, and photoelectric alarms provide (often) considerably faster response to smoldering fires than ionization type alarms. similar study conducted in the 1970's. This is related to some combination of faster fire development times for today's products that provide the main fuel sources for fires, such as upholstered furniture and mattresses, different criteria for time to untenable conditions, and improved understanding of the speed and range of threats to tenability."--Page iii
