GREETINGS FROM A NEW MENBER & IDEAS FOR THE ATMOSPHERE IN ISLAND ON

High O2 atmospheres result in increased arterial pressure and can lead to
necrosis of the Heart and enhanced possibility of stroke. When red blood
cells become saturated with O2, they bloat to many times their normal size.
What ever we choose to breath, it might be wise if we keep the O2 partial
pressure close to Earth normal. My Wife did her end of degree dissertation
on the effects of microgravity and high O2 atmospheres. Demineralisation
effects due to microgravity can apparently be countered using high
frequency vibrations on the bones. High O2 atmospheres are bad news all
around, unfortunately. Increased arterial pressure can have some very
negative health effects. Brain haemorrhages would be much more common in
higher O2 atmospheres. Nasty......

>>>Are we uncomfortably warm at room temperature due to reduced heat flow
away from the body?>>>

Increased evaporation of perspired sweat might counter this effect.
