Abstract

Because of interference with the exchange of gas between the lungs and the ambient air, a full face helmet may act as an external dead space, impairing the carbon dioxide elimination from the body. This study shows that the CO2 concentration inside full face motor-cycle helmets is too high in many traffic situations.
