An apparatus is disclosed that includes an aircraft or repurposed aircraft or fuselage having a cabin capable of pressurization, a way to pressurize the cabin whether by built in machinery or external apparatus, a way to deliver oxygen to a plurality of persons in the cabin, a source of hyperbaric oxygen, a pressure gauge or regulator configured to measure or regulate a pressure of the hyperbaric oxygen or the aircraft, a plurality of face or head coverings configured to provide the hyperbaric oxygen to persons or patients in need thereof, and an optional exhaust system configured to remove gas(es) from the face or head coverings without releasing the gas(es) into the cabin. Each of the face or head coverings includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and one or more seals adapted to contain oxygen in the face or head covering at a pressure greater than 1 atm. A related kit and a related method of treating persons with hyperbaric oxygen are also disclosed.

A breathing mask is provided. The breathing mask is secured around the head of the wearer and includes a nose lifter disposed on the front face of the breathing mask. The breathing mask includes a hood, a pair of eye goggles, a mouth aperture, and a check valve disposed on the rear lace of the hood. The eye goggles are affixed to the hood with an elastic band attached in the rear of the hood. Moreover, the mouth aperture is disposed on the front face of the hood below the nose filter. The hood is secured to the head of the wearer by a zipper disposed on the rear face of the hood and an elastic band encircling a pair of side faces and a rear face of the hood. The elastic band encircling the hood provides an airtight seal to protect the wearer from airborne diseases and other hazards.

A strong unsolved need exists to provide people with breathable gases for inhaling instead of ambient air, when people live in areas, where the ambient air is polluted with toxic gases and particulate matters. The present invention solves this need by disclosing a breathing apparatus, a dispenser of breathable gases, and a distributor of breathable gases, for supplying breathable gases to people, exposed to polluted and contaminated outdoor and indoor ambient air.

A system usable in a nuclear environment provides a reservoir of liquefied breathable gas in fluid communication with a deployment system. The deployment system uses a stream of the breathable gas from the reservoir to operate a gas turbine which runs an electrical generator that is mechanically connected therewith to generate electrical power that is stored in a battery bank. The stream of breathable gas then flows from the turbine and is split between a heat exchanger that is situated in heat exchange relation with the interior region of the main control room and an outlet that provides breathable gas to the control room. The portion of the stream that flows through the heat exchanger cools the main control room. The other portion of the stream that provides breathable gas to the main control room also recirculates the atmosphere in the control room.
