From page 14...
... These investigators also showed that, in subjects exercising at constant different workloads during CO uptake for times as short as 60 sec, measured increases in venous COHb could be precisely computed using the CFK equation. In general, the above studies used inspired CO concentrations in excess of those found in the cabin air of armored vehicles.

From page 15...
... Previous studies used inspired CO concentrations in excess of those found in armored-vehicle cabins, and data need to be obtained using lower CO concentrations. The committee recommends that the Army conduct three types of experiments using human subjects to address those issues.
