The oxygen contained in the mask can be made from chemicals. Shortly before they could be inhaled, oxygen masks did not release oxygen, but in the form of chemicals.
Chemicals turn into the air that can be inhaled to breathe. These materials are usually stored in the oxygen generator on the head of the passenger.
If the air in the cabin decreased, oxygen masks will drop automatically. When you pull the mask down, you will release chemicals such as berklorat and iron oxide which will then be mixed.
The chemical reaction that occurs from the mixture will be oxygen flowing to your body. When this happens, the space at the top of the head will be hot. This was said by Arch Carson as health professionals who work at the University of Texas.
"When you pull it down, it will produce a smell like burning. Like turning a new oven, "said Carson cited Huffingtonpost. But no need to worry because you can breathe comfortably. Carson also said, you will probably inhale chemical dust fraction, it is better than you pass out from lack of oxygen.
Oxygen masks usually provide enough air to last for 12 to 20 minutes. Quite a long time can be used by pilots to find the right height position so that passengers do not need to use the oxygen mask again.
"The pilot can lose height faster than it takes to run out of oxygen. They understand the situation, "said Air Force flight surgeon, Dr. Gregory Pinnell.
But you should immediately use oxygen masks quickly. Do you remember when the stewardess told to put on your mask first before helping others?
Yes, this is for your own safety. Because if within 30 seconds you do not immediately put on oxygen masks, you could be at risk of fainting.
After the loss of cabin air, you can dizziness, confusion, and loss of consciousness. While to be able to help others, you have to focus. Focused and calm is the key to conquering the emergency landing.
