... watch list: Risk of urinary tract dysfunction, risk of impaired vision due to refractive visual changes during long-duration spaceflight, risk of adverse health effects due to exposure to hypoxic environments, and risk of adverse health effects due to prolonged exposure to elevated carbon dioxide levels. The following risks appeared in the BR, but not the PRD or Evidence Books: medical informatics, technologies, and support systems; monitor air quality; monitor external environment; monitor water quality; monitor surfaces, food, and soil; provide integrated autonomous control of life support systems; maintain acceptable atmosphere; maintain thermal balance in habitable areas; manage waste; provide and maintain bioregenerative life support systems; provide and recover potable water; alterations in microbes and host interactions; motion sickness; and impaired fracture healing.
