After all the recent discussion of CNS limits, and some confusion regarding limits for pulmonary toxicity and OTUs, I have a question about the long term effects of elevated O2 exposure on the lungs.
Is the lung damage from O2 pulmonary toxicity fully reversible? Does it depend on the severity of the damage? What is the chance of permanent damage from high O2 exposure? Does this damage stack up over time, even after recovery?
Any data on the lung health and function of older divers with a long career in diving behind them? Maybe something from the commercial diving industry?
