Abstract
The biological effects of fluctuating electromagnetic and electrostatic fields, as well as aerosol ions, are probably paralleled by the effects of oxygen toxicity in the alteration of electrodynamics, energy transfer and free radical reactions within cells. Symptoms and signs of low-level oxygen toxicity have been correlated with biochemical and anatomical changes in man and animals.Alteration of the pulmonary membrane, red blood cell survival and mitochondrial function in several organs has been found in experiments attempting to validate the efficacy of 100% oxygen at 250 mm Hg as a space cabin atmosphere. The significance of these findings to biometeorological problems is discussed.
