If you know the amount of hydrogen someone is exhaling orally, it's a simple matter to extrapolate the amount they're exhaling rectally. This is because a fixed percentage of hydrogen produced in the colon is absorbed into the blood and, and when it reaches the lungs, exhaled. The breath hydrogen test has given flatus researchers a simple, consistent measure of gas production that does not require the subject to fart into a balloon.","author":"Mary Roach","tags":["absorb","blood","colon","extrapolate","flatulence","gas","gulp","hydrogen","mary-roach"],"id":35023,"author_id":"Mary+Roach"},{"text":"When discharging industrial gas into the indoor environment in high altitude astronomy, we never wore breathing respirators that fed us oxygenated air at above the legally required 19.5% oxygen levels.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["air","altitude","astrobiology","astronomer","astronomical","astronomy","astrophysics","astrosociobiology","breathing","discharging","environment","fed","gas","high","indoor","industrial","legally","levels","liquid","osha","oxygen","oxygenated","respirators"],"id":39288,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"An open flask of industrial liquid gas that is venting into the indoor environment should be thought of as the same as a smoldering fire, as they both create a dangerous oxygen deficient environment for the human.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["dangerous","deficient","environment","fire","flask","gas","human","indoor","industrial","liquid","open","osha","oxygen","smoldering","venting"],"id":44763,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"When I worked at the W. M.
