Oxygen
Toxicity
Oxygen Toxicity The effects of oxygen
are increased at depth so that the maximum PO2 in diving is 1.6ATA, and
this is achieved at 218 fsw breathing air, 132 fsw breathing 32% O2,
and
20 fsw breathing 100% O2. Convulsion at depth in water usually results
in drowning or arterial gas embolism and is prevented by not using
oxygen
breathing with SCUBA and by limiting oxygen exposure with.
