Effects of trace levels of nitrous oxide on psychomotor performance. 1983

H Venables, and N Cherry, and H A Waldron, and L Buck, and C Edling, and H K Wilson

Twenty-four male student volunteers were exposed to 50 ppm of nitrous oxide or air in an exposure chamber for 4 h in two experimental sessions. The subjects completed a battery of psychomotor tests during the final 40 min of the exposure sessions. Nitrous oxide, at this low concentration, did not produce any statistically significant changes in performance.
