    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediately_dangerous_to...

    The term immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) is defined by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as exposure to airborne contaminants that is "likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects or prevent escape from such an environment." Examples include smoke or other ...

  3. Hematocrit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematocrit

    The MCV is the size of the red cells and the RDW is a relative measure of the variation in size of the red cell population. Decreased hematocrit levels could indicate life-threatening diseases such as leukemia. [36]

  4. Effects of high altitude on humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude...

    The human body can perform best at sea level, [7] where the atmospheric pressure is 101,325 Pa or 1013.25 millibars (or 1 atm, by definition). The concentration of oxygen (O 2 ) in sea-level air is 20.9%, so the partial pressure of O 2 (pO 2 ) is 21.136 kilopascals (158.53 mmHg).

  5. Phosgene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosgene

    Phosgene is fairly simple to produce, but is listed as a Schedule 3 substance under the Chemical Weapons Convention. As such, it is usually considered too dangerous to transport in bulk quantities . Instead, phosgene is usually produced and consumed within the same plant, as part of an "on demand" process.

  6. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    In humans, this carbon dioxide is carried through the venous system and is breathed out through the lungs, resulting in lower concentrations in the arteries. The carbon dioxide content of the blood is often given as the partial pressure , which is the pressure which carbon dioxide would have had if it alone occupied the volume. [ 73 ]

  7. Road - Wikipedia

    [21] [22] The Icknield Way may exemplify this type of road origination, where human and animal both selected the same natural line. [23] By about 10,000 BC human travelers used rough roads/pathways. [1] The world's oldest known paved road was constructed in Egypt some time between 2600 and 2200 BC. [24]

  8. Richter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_scale

    The Richter scale [1] (/ ˈ r ɪ k t ər /), also called the Richter magnitude scale, Richter's magnitude scale, and the Gutenberg–Richter scale, [2] is a measure of the strength of earthquakes, developed by Charles Richter in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg, and presented in Richter's landmark 1935 paper, where he called it the "magnitude scale".
