Brief Summary
20 healthy young subjects and 20 healthy older subjects will go through a medical examination. Subjects will be asked for their medical history especially on respiratory and cardiac diseases. All subjects will go through a spirometry test to evaluate their respiratory function. After their medical clearance each subjects will be asked to wear a CBRN respirator for 45 minutes. 15 minutes without filter, 15 minute with 0.8 cmH2O resistance, and 15 minutes with 1.2 cmH2O resistance. Throughout the test, Pco2 AND PO2 will be measured. The investigator will evaluate the effect of resistance (filter resistance) and the age of the subject on CO2 accumulation in the mask.

Study Arms (2)
Young group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm include 20 young subjects that will perform the same experiment as the old group for a comparison reasons.
Old group
EXPERIMENTALThis group us the group of interest. This group will wear the mask and is expected to show differences from the younger group.
