#Scottish #physiologist and #philosopher of #science whose extensive work on human #respiration included the effects of #pulmonary #diseases and the physiology of the #blood.

Early in his career he studied the air in sewers for #microorganisms, which he found rather limited.

#Haldane was known for #experimentation on #himself to find the amount of #Carbondioxide in the blood was a #stimulus for the respiratory centre of the #brain.

He reported on investigations of the effects of #carbonmonoxide from mine fires and explosions (1896).

For the safety of deep-sea divers, he built on Paul Bert's work on the bends and produced the first staged #decompression tables (1907). He also devised a decompression apparatus.

He invented a #gasmask used in WW I.
