Anyone know of public research on gas analysis from divers as they exhale during a dive?

I assume the technology exists in 2022 since we have O2, N, CO, CO2, and alcohol sensors that can read data from exhalation.

I'm curious if there's anything to learn from the data at various segments of a dive. Whether there are predictable measurements that correspond with phases of the dive. Could off gassing be measured in a curve corresponding to depth? That kind of curiosity.

If any such research has crossed your desk, please share ♥️
 
The US Navy Experimental Diving Unit has extensive monitoring systems for divers in their wet pot, monster horizontal chamber really. They have different exercise rigs that let them measure work while measuring just about every respiratory factor you can think of.

A great deal of their research is not classified and tons of reports are available.
