Replacing low pressure effects

I'd like to replace the low pressure effects section with a section about necessary oxygen pressure for survival, since quite low pressures are acceptable as long as the oxygen partial pressure is high enough. This source has some good information on normoxic oxygen pressure that could be inserted there. I'd like to confirm that I wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes by doing this though since I'm new to wiki editing. I'd also like to rework part of the article into a series of subsections about the pros and cons of higher and lower total habitat pressures.

Good idea, the page has been static for a while so I expect you can go ahead and change at will. NASA spaceflight.com has some threads about the impact of various atmospheric pressure, although it's a bit all over the place, and extracting the info is a bit time consuming. If you have nay information about using argon as a buffer gas as well as nitrogen it would be an interesting addition.
