Difference between Decompression sickness and Henry's law

Decompression sickness vs. Henry's law

Decompression sickness (DCS; also known as divers' disease, the bends, aerobullosis, or caisson disease) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation. In chemistry, Henry's law is a gas law that states that the amount of dissolved gas is proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase.

Similarities between Decompression sickness and Henry's law

Decompression sickness and Henry's law have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric pressure, Decompression (diving), Helium, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Partial pressure.

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet).
