Effects of Atmospheric Contaminants under Hyperbaric Conditions with Particular Reference to Vision

Abstract

A literature search has been carried out for studies investigating the effects, particularly on vision, of atmospheric contaminants under pressure. Little is known of the effects on vision of most contaminants under any pressure. What is known of the effects of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and monoxide, ozone, organic vapors, trace metals, and a refrigerant are presented.
