John S. Haldane

    John Scott Haldane bol škótsky fyziológ známy svojimi odvážnymi sebexperimentmi, ktoré viedli k mnohým dôležitým objavom v oblasti ľudského tela a povahy plynov. Jeho práca zahŕňala vyšetrovanie baníckych nešťastí a reakcie tela na rôzne atmosférické podmienky vrátane znečisteného vzduchu a nízkeho tlaku. Haldane tiež vyvinul prvú plynovú masku a skúmal účinky pľúcnych ochorení, čím významne prispel k vedeckému poznaniu a bezpečnosti.Venoval sa štúdiu dýchania a objavil Haldaneov jav v hemoglobíne. Jeho výskum sa zameral aj na prácu potápačov a bezpečnosť pri hlbinnom potápaní, čo viedlo k vytvoreniu prvých dekompresných tabuliek. Haldaneova odvaha a precíznosť v experimentoch položili základy pre modernú fyziológiu a bezpečnostné opatrenia v priemysle aj v medicíne.

      Scottish physiologist John Scott Haldane (1860-1936) helped find out how to determine the regulation of breathing and discovered the "Haldane effect" in haemaglobin. At that time his discoveries revolutionized current ideas about respiration. Haldane was also the inventor of the gas-mask during World War I. Between 1907 and 1913 he gave lectures in Physiology at Oxford. Beside honorary degrees from many universities, John Scott Haldane was elected Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1897. His philosophical ideas were mainly developed in the last two decades of his life and published in books like "The Sciences and Philosophy" and "The Philosophical Basis of Biology." Haldane was the founder of "The Journal of Hygiene."
