MSNBC: "Space station mission opposed"

There doesn't appear to be ANY real medical plan of how to detect contamination levels based on crew medical symptoms (sense of smell/taste, headache, itchiness, vision problems, breathing difficulties, etc. -- Speaking as one who has lived in such an enviroment, you don't need a damm plan, just situational awareness. they just rely on the 'medical judgment' of the Flight Surgeon -- who is often a future astronaut-wannabe) or use such detection to make the choice to shut down the station. While we did have an atmosphere monitoring program that covered the usual suspects, we handled unusual cases very simply. If the Doc started to note a cluster of unusual complaints, we went into breathing masks and headed for the roof to ventilate overboard. The whole 'plan' covered a single sheet of ordinary paper.
