Are the lungs capable of rapid degassing? I guess so? Is there a study about this?
It's not really possible (or necessary or in people ethical) to study individual tissues. In theory, any tissue can get bent. In practical terms, if your lung tissues are over their maximum tolerable dissolved gas pressures the rest of your body is probably already dead or fizzing so badly you'll be dead shortly.
