Abstract

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for determining end of service life for a respirator cartridge by comparing the gas levels sensed at two or more sample points within the cartridge. Sample streams may run from the sample points to a gas sensor, wherein a valve may control the flow between the sample streams and the gas sensor.
