Has anyone tried an alternative of Reduced air Nitrox ? By this I mean air
to which *Nitrogen* has been *added* to reduce the FO2.

At first glance, the answer seems to be that you wouldn't want to do this
as the narcosis would be worse. However, recent work seems to have shown that
Oxygen is equally narcotic as Nitrogen and I therefore suggest that altering
the ratio of Oxygen to Nitrogen in either direction will not affect the
narcotic potency of the resulting gas.

What is this recent work and has it been published... if
so could you please cite it...and reference..

Tom.

Tis a wild call but a clear call,  that cannot be denied.
