This chapter reviews atmospheric standards with particular attention to pathophysiology and operational issues associated with pressure, temperature, humidity, and trace contaminants. Next follows a discussion of the physiologically relevant atmospheric gases oxygen and carbon dioxide along with their associated clinical conditions (e.g., hypoxia and hypercarbia). The chapter concludes with a review of the environmental control systems found on board past and present spacecraft. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
