Question

At sea level we are dealing with the pressures from the air and water pressure is heavier than the air pressure. As we go down in depth, the pressure increases by 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch). Technically, this means that we will see an increase of this magnitude every 33 feet. You mentioned the bends the body can withstand as we descend into the ocean. This can be fatal to the body. Did you research indicate the rate at which the body absorbs nitrogen?

Answer 1

at what rate is nitrogen absorbed by the body?

Answer 2

@Abhisar

Answer 3

\(\bigstar\) At one standard atmosphere of pressure an adult human has about 1.5L (STP) of dissolved nitrogen in their body, most of which is dissolved in the fatty tissues of the body.
\(\bigstar\) At 2 atmospheres of pressure, the volume of dissolved nitrogen increases to about 3L (STP).
\(\bigstar\) At 3 atmospheres this volume increases to about 4.5L (STP). As long as the pressure is maintained, the nitrogen gas is in a solution, that is, it is dissolved; it is not in the gaseous form.

Answer 4

Thanks for the explanation
