Do any of you know what the physiological effects of significantly higher-than-normal air pressure are? Like 1.5+ atmospheres. I don't need a ton of detail because it's a short scene but I'd like to be accurate on how it is affecting this character. #amwriting #cosowriters #WritingCommunity
@ianthealy Does this help? https://dictionary.apa.org/air-pressure-effects
@Lena_Tasi It does! Thank you!
@ianthealy Air pressure at the Dead Sea is about 6-7% higher than it is at "sea level" - the other oceans on Earth. Here is some science data: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8756971/ . The word's deepest mine is about 8-9 times lower than the Dead Sea, so the effects would be even stronger there.
