Revisions to Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations for Acetaldehyde
The availability of newer data enabled the generation of SMACs for acetaldehyde that are markedly higher than the prior values. The shorter-duration SMACs increased by approximately 10-fold, and the longer-duration SMACs rose by twofold. The proposed values will appropriately protect astronaut health and performance and provide critical information for the design of life-support systems for low Earth orbit and beyond.
