La presión del aire disminuye con la altura, así como también la densidad. Dicha variación es logarítmica. Así a 5000 metros la presión se reduce a la mitad (1/2 atmósfera). Al tener el aire siempre la misma proporción de oxígeno, si uno se eleva a 5000 metros, respira el mismo volumen de aire pero su presión parcial es la mitad y la sangre recibirá la mitad de oxígeno. 1, record 1, Spanish, - presi%C3%B3n%20del%20aire
