ATMOSPHERE CONTROL IN CLOSED SPACE ENVIRONMENT (SUBMARINE)

Abstract

A general summary of the toxicological problems associated with the enclosed space environment of submarines is presented. The current state of development of tools for measuring and removing these problem substances is reviewed. More than 25 atmospheric contaminants are listed, their sources, and their maximum allowable concentrations are given, as well as the symptoms they cause, the long-term effects; tools for measuring the amounts of contaminants present are described and methods of removal indicated, in so far as known. Many aspects of research are involved and the author does not claim his summary is complete.
