From page 16...
... The researchers found that onset of ST segment elevations (determined using electrocardiography) and angina pectoris occurred sooner when COHb levels were at about 4% saturation or greater, as compared with the control group.

... . In view of the lack of reliable and relevant neuropsychological data and the inconsistencies in existing data at levels in this range, the committee recommends that the Army consider controlled human experiments using scenarios and exposure concentrations of CO relevant to combat conditions.
