What do I mean by external factors? What defines the air before we inhale it. The condition or age of our body has nothing to do with these external factors yet these external factors definitely affect our ability to delivery oxygen to the blood and eventually to our tissues and organs.

There really are five external factors:
  1. Elevation from sea level
  2. Air pollution
  3. Temperature
  4. Humidity
  5. Wind
These are discussed in this article.

There will be several posts and articles on breathing disorders as follows:
-external factors
-inhaling
-breathing exercises
-the trade
-distribution
-the second trade
-distribution
-the third trade
-exhale.

Perhaps someone should publish the pictures of all the major shareholders in big Tobacco and their families and children. Let all the victims of big Tobacco know which private schools and fancy subdivisions were paid for with their lives.

I have run across an interesting product while attempting to alleviate the symptoms of copd. It delivers oxygen in short blasts when needed. Personal Portable Oxygen
