Incorporation of this aeromedical data will result in (a) enhanced mission success and mission efficiency, and (b) minimized opportunity for mission failure, accidents, and long-range adverse consequences due to human factors deficiencies. The data include medical standards for oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and monoxide, humidity, heat, water vapor, internal noise, radiation, and other items
