At sea level the usual partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 bar. This drops to about 0.2 bar in the lungs due to water vapor and carbon dioxide that will be exhaled with the next out-going breath. At an altitude of about 18,000 feet, the oxygen partial pressure is about 0.1 bar and the air pressure is about 0.5 bar. Most people become ill at 18,000 feet due to lack of oxygen. Unless the air is enriched with oxygen, bringing the partial pressure into the 0.15 to 0.2 range unconsciousness, sometimes death folows in less than one hour formost people. Neil |
