- Summary:
- The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential benefits of oxygen enrichment at moderately high altitudes such as improving sleep and assisting in the initial acclimatization process. The implementation and hazards of oxygen enrichment, such as the potential for fire hazards that might be caused by the added oxygen at altitude, is also discussed.
