Subject: O2 Narcotic Properties
From: goldes@ny*.pi*.co* (Goldes)
Page 195 of "Mixed Gas Diving" (Mount * Giilliam * et al) states "NITROX
mixes of 50/50 (N2/O2) or 60/40 (N2/O2) are commonly used deeper than 60
fsw instead of AIR to lesson narcosis and safely keep the O2 partial
pressures within tolerance ranges."  Does this imply that O2 is less
narcotic, or that evening out the Fg's keeps both gases below narcotic
ranges?
