- Abstract
- In view of the recent "Apollo" catastrophe it would be particularly apropos for members of the fire protection profession to be well informed concerning the general effects of combustion under high oxygen conditions. The papers and reports in this collection are not meant to be a complete literature review of the subject but will give the reader some insight as to how the problem has been attacked from many points of view concerning oxygen diluting gases, high and low pressures, types of combustibles, methods of test and some effects on man or animals.
