Description
This Volume presents the proceedings of theSecond International Conference on Engineering and Health in Compressed Air Work, Heald at St Catherines College, Oxford from 25th to 27th September 2002.
The 35 papers in this volume cover a range of subjects, including experience with oxygen decompressionnin the UK and research related tothe introduction of oxygen decompression, which will be of interest to everyone involved with the engineering, medical or regulatory aspects of compressed air working and all those with an interest in hyperbaric exposure.
