AEROSOL BEHAVIOR IN HIGH PRESSURE ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

The second year of a study has been completed whose main purpose is to elucidate hazards to personnel arising from aerosols in high pressure helium- oxygen atmospheres. The year's efforts included: experimental studies on the generation of aerosols in the high pressure environment, pulmonary deposition modeling, theoretical filter efficiency calculations, and the construction of a high pressure filtration efficiency test apparatus. The first two topics listed are described separately in a previous special report, AD683794.
