Abstract

Health hazards encountered in the operation of nuclearpowered fleet baiiistic missile (Poiaris) submarines are discussed. Methods and apparatus for removing toxic materials generated while the submarine is submerged are described. Elimination of carbon monoxide in particular is considered. Various methods for detecting atmoapheric contamination as well as criteria for evaluating maximum allowable air concentrations are also considered. The approach and-procedures employed to effect the toxicological control in submarines are directly applicable to other rapidly developing systems, such as in the design of manned space vehicles.
