AEROSOL BEHAVIOR IN HIGH PRESSURE ENVIRONMENTS
Abstract
The report finalizes two phases of a broad study whose general purpose is to elucidate hazards to personnel arising from aerosols in high pressure helium-oxygen atmospheres. Studies have been completed on the generation of aerosols within high pressure environments and experimental evidence has been gathered which generally indicates that particle diameter increases with increasing pressure to a slight degree but there is a remarkable reduction in numbers concentration of particles. Pulmonary deposition models have been finalized and indicate increases in deposition in the lower respiratory tract with increasing pressure.
