Abstract

Experiments were performed to study the effect of carbon monoxide and ammonia on man wearing a protective suit. It was found that hypobaric oxygenation produced a modifying effect on the level of intoxication with these compounds. It is recommended to take into consideration specific environmental effects when standardizing concentrations of toxic components inside individual protection systems.
