Perlite Has Similar Diffusion Properties for Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide to Snow: Implications for Avalanche Safety Equipment Testing and Breathing Studies

Perlite Has Similar Diffusion Properties for Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide to Snow: Implications for Avalanche Safety Equipment Testing and Breathing Studies

On average, one hundred people die each year under avalanche snow. Despite extensive global research on gas exchange in buried avalanche victims, it remains unclear how the diffusion of respiratory gases affects survival under avalanche snow. This study aims to determine how oxygen and carbon dioxid...
