My uninformed two cents worth... I wonder if the bends and nitrogen narcosis for divers with large air supplies (either hard hat or aqua lung) are not caused by not caused by the large volume of air they are exposed to under high pressure over time. Stated another way, if all of the air in an animals lungs (one volume) were to go into solution in the blood would that be enough to cause narcosis and bends? Or would it require many lungs full? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
