Reseña del editor

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Argox is the informal name for a scuba diving breathing gas consisting of argon and oxygen. Since argon is not capitalized, in theory argox should not be capitalized either. Occasionally the term argonox has been used to mean the same mix. The blend may consist of varying fractions of argon and oxygen, depending on its intended use. The mixture is made with the same gas blending techniques used to make nitrox, except that for argox, the argon is added to the initial pure oxygen partial-fill, instead of air. Argox is essentially a theoretical diving gas, being rarely, if ever, used, and usually thought to have no practical applications where its benefits outweigh its drawbacks.
