A Mathematical Model for Oxygen Toxicity in Man.

Abstract

In this thesis, mathematical models are established for the development of oxygen toxicity in divers. The study endeavors to derive the shape of the oxygen tolerance curve in terms of depth-time limitations by statistical analysis of existing data. By assuming a known distribution for the time-to-serious-symptom, mathematically predictive models are developed which allow a greater degree of predictability in mission profiles and allow the associated risk to divers to be evaluated.
