You can’t know how altitude will affect you until you’re up there. ... At sea-level, the partial pressure of oxygen is 159 mmHg, whereas at 8,848m above sea level (the summit of Mt Everest), ...

The higher you fly, the less the partial pressure of oxygen and the shorter the time of useful consciousness. At 45,000 feet in a rapid or explosive decompression event, the average person will ...

Skiing resorts are commonly at an altitude of 3,000 meters, where the partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2) is around 70% of the partial pressure at sea level. This partial pressure decreases even ...

Partial Pressure of Oxygen (P o 2) in People Residing at Very High Altitude, as Compared with P o 2 at Sea Level. The hypoxia of high altitude has many deleterious effects.

However, with an increase in altitude comes a decrease in barometric (atmospheric) pressure, which decreases the partial pressure of oxygen in the air, the lungs, and the blood — consequently ...

According to Emery, since there isn't a perfect one-to-one correlation between altitude and jet lag, Boeing has taken additional measures to mitigate the symptoms.
