Underwater breathing brings research Surgical masks are stan dard costumes in operating rooms. But scuba gear may be the next cycle. A t Indiana U niversity Hos pital in Indianapolis, operat ing room personnel wear sur gical masks connected to respiratory systems that function like scuba masks. A ir is supplied, while exhaled carbon dioxide is directed away from the operating area. A gentle breeze of sterile a ir is blown constantly over the patient. In the real underwater w orld, a scuba diver straps to his body the equipment that supplies his a ir and re moves the carbon dioxide he exhales. The a ir he breathes, underwaters as well as out of the water, is one-fifth oxygen and four-fifths n itro gen. But nitrogen becomes narcotic to divers after a depth of about 40 yards. At deeper levels, divers have to carry expensive helium in stead of nitrogen. Scientists are looking for ways to increase man’ s a bility to breathe underwater without masks. A t the Uni versity of M arseilles in France, D r. Jacques Chou teau kept two goats alive fo r a fu ll day in a pressure chamber simulating condi tions 300 yards underwater. The unusual aspect of the experiment was that a cylind e r filled with a gas called potassium superoxide kept reconverting just the right amount of oxygen in the chamber. The goats, inci dentally, thrived on th e ird a ily ration of one cigarette, which they atewithobviouspleasure. One day mancan live under the sea if he can figure out how to breathe just the right combination of gases. In the meantime, to find out more about the many pro blems of breathing above water, contact your local tuberculosis and respiratory disease association.

It’s Your Navy J e rry F. is concerned about th e environment and asks: “ What is the Navy doing about pollution control?” Since the Navy is also concerned it has passed the ecology "b u ck” to the Navy C iv il Engineering Laboratory (NCEL) here and it w ill pass no further. The buck, in this case, is a m ajor responsibility in the Navy’ s a ll-o u t war against en vironmental pollution of all kinds, a battle that NCEL en tered on a large scale when it was named deputy manager of the Navywide Environmental Protection Data Base P r o gram . In later years, when some one asks “ W hat did you do in the w a r against pollution. Navy?” , NCEL w ill be able to reply with this impressive lis t of accomplishments: • Set up an entire Depart ment, su ite d by outstanding specialists in tie field of envi ronmental pollution. • set up pilot test programs to study all form s of pollution at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and at the North Island Naval A ir Station, San Diego. • Trained and equipped spe cia l teams to investigate pol lution problems at N aial in stallations across the country. • Gathered data on smoke stack emissions, noise levels, ground water pollution, con tamination by p e s t i c i d e s , leaking from solid wastes. • Developed both hardware and techniques fo r control of pollution of various kinds, in cluding oil spills. • E stab!ished a data base fo r rapid dissemination of pollu tion information throughout the Navy. Every known source of envi ronmental contamination is being studied by highly quali fied people, and the inform a tion developed by these in vestigations w ill be analyzed and evaluated for use in fo l low-up control actions.

Called the H ybrid, the new engine uses a fuel injec tion system like that used on diesel engines.
