D. Physiological Effects of a Low Oxygen Content Environment
SUBTASK 47-00-00-910-001
(1) NEA increases the nitrogen content and decreases the oxygen of the air. If you breathe air
without sufficient oxygen, it can have dangerous and immediate effects. If a person breathes
air without sufficient oxygen, these health problems can occur:
Make sure that you read and obey the warning placard in areas where there you can find
nitrogen enriched air. Read and obey the warnings in the maintenance instructions. Nitrogen
generation equipment is dangerous because you cannot see or smell the gas. The equipment
decreases the oxygen in the air to a condition that is not health safe. It can cause hypoxia.
Hypoxia can make you dizzy, nauseous, unconscious, and can kill you.
(a) A person that breathes air with a low oxygen content cannot sense that the oxygen level
is too low. The victim can become unconscious before the person is aware of the low
oxygen content air.
(b) An organic vapor filter respirator will not help you breathe in a low oxygen environment.
E. Fuel Tank Entry Precautions
SUBTASK 47-00-00-910-002
WARNING
DO NOT BREATHE THE AIR FROM THE FUEL TANK UNTIL YOU MAKE IT
SAFE. THE NITROGEN GENERATION SYSTEM DECREASES THE OXYGEN
IN THE AIR. IF YOU BREATHE AIR THAT DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT
OXYGEN, DANGEROUS HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN QUICKLY OCCUR.
DANGEROUS HEALTH CONDITIONS INCLUDE NAUSEA,
UNCONSCIOUSNESS, AND CONVULSIONS. IF THE OXYGEN LEVEL OF
THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE IS VERY LOW, IT CAN KILL YOU.
(1) For NGS related fuel tank purging and entry precautions obey the steps in this task: Purging
and Fuel Tank Entry Precautions, TASK 28-11-00-910-801.
