- Abstract
- The authors have presented equations for incapacitation times and lethality times when a living body is exposed to an atmosphere containing a toxic gas or a mixture of toxic gases. The equations contain several constants to be calculated from data obtained in experiments on the relation between gas concentration and the effective exposure time.
