Abstract:

The effects of high concentrations and pressures of oxygen and static sparks upon lip, face and hair preparations were determined because of questions that frequently arise and apprehension that exists. A wide margin of safety was found for their use at or below one atmosphere of pressure. However, their use in experimental or therapeutic compressions is not deemed safe due to a marked increase in the effects of a static spark upon these compounds at two atmospheres oxygen pressure.
