Studies of pulmonary mechanics and diffusing capacity were carried out shortly after completion of exposure to the gas composition, barometric pressure, and acceleration profile simulating an earth orbital mission of 2 weeks duration. The values obtained for pulmonary function on the three subjects were normal. However, there still is a potential fire hazard in the atmosphere of 100% oxygen at frac13 atm.
