Present paper is aimed at assessing the effect of hypoxic gaseous mixtures intended for the use as the fire suppression agents within closed volumes on the basis of argon with addition of carbonic acid on the body of mammalia. Three experiments were performed on the male white laboratory Wistar rats. It is indicated that argon adding to the hypoxic mixtures containing 4-5% volume increases animal survivability as compared to analogous nitrogen-based mixtures. An addition of 4-8% volume of carbonic acid impairs the of animal condition and reduces the survival rate. There noted a pronounced negative effect of the increased temperature on the survival time in the hypoxic media. One can draw inference about the principal possibility of using argon for formation of the hypoxic gaseous mixtures possessing fire suppression properties.
本论文旨在评估以氩气为基础并添加碳酸、用于封闭空间灭火的缺氧气体混合物对哺乳动物身体的影响。对雄性白色实验Wistar大鼠进行了三项实验。结果表明，与类似的基于氮气的混合物相比，向含4 - 5%体积的缺氧混合物中添加氩气可提高动物的存活率。添加4 - 8%体积的碳酸会损害动物状况并降低存活率。还注意到温度升高对缺氧环境中生存时间有明显的负面影响。可以推断出使用氩气形成具有灭火性能的缺氧气体混合物的主要可能性。
