Evidence-based Approach to Establish Space Suit Carbon Dioxide Limits [PDF]
A literature survey was conducted to assess if published data (evidence) could help inform a space suit carbon dioxide (CO2) limit. The search identified more than 120 documents about human interaction with elevated CO2. Until now, the guiding philosophy
