Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the early days, divers could only withstand the crushing water pressure and lack of oxygen for a few minutes at a time before resurfacing. This book brings together the results of 15-year research into the causes, cure, and prevention of decompression sickness. The author, an expert in this field, has gathered a team of top scientists to explore the physiological effects of compressed air work, which has significant implications for engineers who work to build harbors and tunnels, the navies and mercantile marines, and pearl and sponge fisheries. The book engages with previous work in the field and draws heavily on the masterly work of Paul Bert but is written in an accessible style for the general reader. The author also shares insights gathered from the latest scientific research, such as the most efficient use of oxygen and exercise to accelerate decompression. This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in compressed air work, and its insights will undoubtedly contribute to safer working conditions and the extension of human ability to work underwater. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
