The avoid bends sickness, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air and díluted with ......
- A helium gas
- B argon gas
- C krypton gas
- D xenon gas
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) helium gas
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The gas bubbles (like nitrogen) in the bodily fluids affect nerve impulses giving rise to decompression sickness or bends. These can be painful and fatal. So, the avoid bends sickness, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air and diluted with helium gas.
