(that is, the partial pressure of oxygen before oxygen toxicity begins)
Hypothetically, for both pulmonary tolerance and central nervous system (CNS) tolerance, assume a dive-related event were to occur for 1 week (7 full days) in a pressurized system, what is the maximum partial pressure of oxygen that could be tolerated by the diver during that time just before oxygen toxicity is induced?
I'm seeing studies of high partial pressures (140-160 kPa) for SHORT-TERM duration studies, but what partial pressures are lethal for LONG-TERM durations?
