The efficiency of the carbon dioxide absorption by soda lime was determined in the following way. (1) " Circle " breathing. In six experiments, a subject breathing through a Waters canister fully packed with 425 g of fresh soda lime was connected to a closed circuit spirometer as described by Erikson et al. (1951). The expired air then passed the canister before entering the spirometer where th...
