John S. Haldane

    John Scott Haldane è stato un fisiologo scozzese pioniere, rinomato per la sua intrepida auto-sperimentazione. I suoi audaci studi, che spesso coinvolgevano gas pericolosi e condizioni estreme, hanno fornito intuizioni cruciali sulla fisiologia umana e sulla natura dei gas. Le indagini di Haldane si sono estese alla sicurezza mineraria e agli effetti della pressione atmosferica, portando a invenzioni pratiche come la prima maschera antigas e a protocolli di sicurezza migliorati per i subacquei. Il suo rigoroso approccio scientifico e il suo impegno nel comprendere la risposta del corpo alle sfide ambientali hanno lasciato un'eredità duratura nella fisiologia e nella salute occupazionale.

      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."
