- Abstract
- An attempt has been made to convey the significance of some of the work that has been done to establish the toxicological safety both of the old and the new materials that are used in the Apollo program. When selected and used properly, the materials do not present an atmospheric hazard. However, new materials must be evaluated on the basis of use.
