Hypobaric Pressure Chamber
Studies with animal models have included a variety of subjects involving oxygen deprivation such as acclimation to altitude, the function of the pineal gland, and development of colateral circulation of the heart. Engineering studies have included performance tests of medical gas delivery devices at various ambient air pressures and the effectiveness of scrubbers in removing pollutants from indoor air.
