from EnviroPhys: Navigating Human Limits · host Dr. Jim Davis
This episode dives into the effects of gas exchange under pressure. We explain Dalton’s Law, the causes and symptoms of nitrogen narcosis, and the risks of oxygen toxicity at depth. We also introduce Henry’s Law, explaining how nitrogen dissolves into tissues and leads to decompression sickness (DCS) if ascent is too rapid. We discuss prevention strategies such as slow ascent, safety stops, and treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
