FINAL REPORT, 1 JULY 1961-1 JULY 1966.

Abstract

A summary is given of studies concerning oxygen toxicity, with special reference to the effects of oxygen at increased ambient pressures on respiration and circulation in man. Topics include: oxygen tolerance; pulmonary oxygen toxicity in man; physiological (non-toxic) effects of oxygen upon the lung; narcosis by high pressures of helium; studies of respiratory control; studies of decompression; open sea activities; laboratory and pressure chamber development; pulmonary and CNS tolerance of normal men at rest to 100% oxygen breathing at various levels of ambient pressure.
