In addition, overgloves and overboots are worn. After use ina toxic environment, the outer garment is to be discarded. The concept eliminates decontamination, laundry, and recertification procedures now required for protective ensembles and is a cost effective improvement over present methods. The ventilated feature of the garment provides cooling which makes the suit more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Although: the present suit provides for limited mobility. Dr. Adams said that future suit designs will eliminate the umbilical cord-ai- r supply connection and the wearer will carry hisher own air supply system.'
