Pulmonary Toxicity Q

**UWSojourner** · 20th August 2007, 19:14

The OTU chart I have ends after 7 days at 380 OTUs/day.

Does that mean that individuals are thought to tolerate this amount indefinitely? In other words, could you theoretically dive roughly 5hrs a day at PO2=1.2 every day of your life with no long term lung damage?

Or should the chart continue past 7 days at reduced per day tolerance levels?

I know its theoretical and I know its not exact.
