What effect does the increased pressure have on the amount of gas dissolved in the diver's body fluids?

Increased pressure increases solubility of gases, so there will be more gas dissolved in the diver's bodily fluids.

When deep-sea divers explore the ocean at great depths nitrogen becomes 10 to 100 times more soluble in the blood. A disorder called the bends occurs when nitrogen bubbles out of the blood because of?
Rapid decrease in pressure.
How did the iron lung treat coal gas poisoning?
The Iron lung was essentially a pressure chamber in which the the pressure could be increased quite a lot over atmospheric pressure as a means of forcing the absorbed coal gas back out. Its other common use was in treating polio, and also divers with the 'bends'. +++ Coal-gas is poisonous by being chiefly Carbon Monoxide, which is fast acting as it binds much more readily than the intended oxygen to the blood's haemoglobin. --- Also, the "iron lung" formerly used to treat polio, is a very different device from the hyperbaric or recompression chamber used to treat the "bends". The iron-lung is a an artificial respirator, the recompression chamber is not. Instead, it is a vessel large enough to accommodate the casualty, and filled with air at the pressure of the dive, then released very slowly.
What gas is most directly responsible for the bends or decompression sickness that divers may experience?
Nitrogen.
When gas in a container is squeezed to half its volume and the temperature remains the same the gas pressure?
the pressure will double
What are the chemical levels in an ozone pool?
If ozone is being used as the primary steriliant, a dissolved ozone level of around 0.1 ppm should be sufficient to maintain clarity, without too much "air stripping" of ozone as divers enter the water, or swimmers leave. Perhaps a better measurement would be simply to maintain an ORP / redox of 500 mV or higher. Using bromine as the primary steriliant, and reactivating it with ozone is probably superior in terms of the size of ozone generator required. Bromine has a lower vapor pressure than chlorine, so it could be months between additions of makeup bromine. Monitor / maintain your hardness and pH as you would any pool. Since you aren't adding chlorine compounds with strong effects on both, this should be much less often.
Why does a scuba diver need increased gas in the air tank?
Scuba divers require increased air pressures in their air tanks while diving because the pressure on their bodies increases.
When the partial pressure of oxygen exceeds about 1.4atm what happens to the amount of oxygen in a divers bloodstream when he or she breathes oxygen at elevated pressures?
It increases
How do deep-sea divers survive underwater pressure?
they use very strong, thick materials or equilize the pressure on the inside to be the same as the outside
What is divers?
divers bends is when two gay people have sex the the blood pressure rises and their dicks burst
Why do deep sea divers require greater protection than scuba divers?
The deeper the diver goes, the higher the pressure is.
What is divers bends?
divers bends is when two gay people have sex the the blood pressure rises and their dicks burst
What do scuba divers use to tell how far down they are?
scuba divers use pressure meter because the deeper down you go the more pressure builds upAdditiona depth gauge or a dive computer
Why scuba divers experience a higher pressure at the bottom of the sea than on the surface of the earth?
This is mainly do to the pressure that the water above the diver is putting on the diver. On the surface air is putting pressure on you but it has less weight than water and as you dive deeper the pressure increases because the amount of water above you also increases.
Why do divers need the newt suit?
It pervents the water pressure from killing the diver
How much are shark divers paid?
a ridiculos amount, im sure
How do scuba divers breathe underwater?
They don't breathe normally on their own.They have to use pressure regulators to breathe naturally, overcoming the extreme pressure deep underwater.A snorkel and oxygen tank help the divers breathe when they are underwater.
Human divers titantic?
Humans have been to the wreck in submersibles but nobody can dive in that pressure.
