Solutions to Environmental Effects on Blood in Space
Publication: Space 98
Abstract
An environment without gravity or with unusual concentrations of oxygen has detrimental effects on blood. Blood plasma volume, red blood cell mass, and total blood volume decrease in outer space. Hypotheses have been formed to explain these decreases. The reasons for the decreases are not entirely understood and should be further studied as space exploration continues. Possible solutions have also been proposed and should be tested and used in the future.
