...that would supply an earthlike atmosphere of roughly 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen, would substantially reduce-but not eliminate entirely-the risk of catastrophic fires. It would also do away with some of the known, adverse physiological effects of exposure to pure oxygen: eye irritation, hearing loss, clogged chest, and possibly other painful symptoms not yet known to doctors...

Known as melioidosis, it was first discovered in Southeast Asia in 1911, but it is practically brand-new to Americans.
