A CBR safe room protects its occupants from contaminated air outside it by providing clean, breathable air in some ways: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
By trapping air inside the room and minimizing the air exchange (an unventilated safe room) |
| |
|
|
By passing contaminated air through a filter to purify it as it is supplied to the room (a venti¬lated safe room) |
