The Air that We Breathe

[Taurean]

Has anybody got the means to verify the oxygen content of our air.

I recently watched a video where George Green stated that the oxygen content of our Air was now only 14% as opposed to what it should be at 21%, and just lately I have noticed a lot of people becoming breathless quite easily.



Oxygen is the essential component of all breathing gases.
The air we inhale is roughly 78% by volume nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases. In addition to air, underwater divers often breathe oxygen-rich or helium-rich gas mixtures. Oxygen and analgesic gases are sometimes given to patients under medical care. The atmosphere in space suits is pure oxygen. Also our reliance on this relatively small amount of oxygen can cause overactivity or euphoria in pure or oxygen-rich environments.
The permanent gases in gas we exhale are roughly 4% to 5% more carbon dioxide and 4% to 5% less oxygen than was inhaled. Additionally vapors and trace gases are present: 5% water vapor, several parts per million (ppm) of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, 1 part per million (ppm) of ammonia and less than 1 ppm of acetone, methanol, ethanol (unless ethanol has been ingested, in which case much higher concentrations would occur in the breath, cf. Breathalyzer) and other volatile organic compounds. The exact amount of exhaled oxygen and carbon dioxide when breathing and the amount of gases exhaled may vary based on diet, exercise and fitness.

Well, if you remember in biology that was taught in highschool (I just remember someone telling me this since I was homeschooled and didn't go to public school) they said that without the oxygen content being at least 15% that we will literally suffocate. And, we're still breathing. Last I heard anything official, it was somewhere around 17-18%.

17 - 18% is still quite alarming.

indeed.... time to plant a tree?

well yeah, it really is. Planting trees helps, but I don't know what as of yet can be done about it, it's really outside my realm of experience and knowledge. But, think about it also 3,500 years ago or so. The Oxygen percentage was right around 30% give or take a few points. Part of this oxygen depletion was caused by the nuclear weapons they tested in the upper atmosphere, it caused issues with the ozone layer etc. They knew precisely what they were doing too when they did it.

I'm staggered that such a thing could be taken so lightly !

If the O content was so much higher 3,500 years ago, I wonder what impact that has on physical performance and brain function ?

Is there a relatively simple way the O content of the air can be monitored ?

[DreamsInDigital]

I'm sure with the right technology it is possible, probably some "home made" science experiments too. And, yes I would say very much so that the oxygen content has something to do significantly with Brain Function etc. And, physical health. So does the sever Copper deficiency that all Terrans have , our blood used to be copper based and is now iron based and severally copper deficient. Lack of Copper in our blood effects nerves and brain function. But it's very much kept secret, because the Copper supplement in the right amount also makes people immune to psy-ops and mind control stuff.

Wow, that's a pretty powerful revelation ! How does copper shield us from what is presumably delivered by a frequency ?

It's also interesting that copper doesn't oxidize like iron does.

[DreamsInDigital]

It has to do with the vibration frequency of Copper. I haven't gone to much into the Copper Supplements as of yet, though it was told to me by a very old wise man before he passed away. I was also told I have a natural immunity to mind/psy-ops stuff. So it's not to much of a concern for me, but I do have something else that is off with me, that I know the Copper will help Correct (this is a great supplement for people with Fibromyalgia). I have issues with my nerves, the copper will help correct it.

For your information, interesting levels of oxygens on the planet and its relation with mammalian life:


Oxygen levels have varied quite a lot throughout the earth history, from up to 35% O2 content to 14%.
We are now at 19-20% level, from 21-22% one century ago before petroleum and the destruction of forests and seas.
Some cities have Oxygen levels at 15%, in rare cases at 10%
We start to get sick at 19% levels of oxygens.
Oxygen is involved in 80% of our bodily functions.

In other words, we are slowly dying choked.


What are the highlights? First, at the start of the "age of animals" 542 million years ago, oxygen levels were lower than today. They fluctuated for 100 million years before rising steadily, peaking some 400 million years ago at around 25 per cent near the beginning of the Devonian period. This was followed by a steep decline, after which levels rose and rose, peaking again near the end of the Carboniferous. Quite a peak it was too: oxygen levels may have exceeded 30 per cent. From then we see a precipitous fall to a nadir of around 12 per cent at the end of the Triassic period, and then an irregular but slowly rising curve to the present day.

Many palaeobiologists now believe that these changes have had profound effects on life, especially animal life. In particular, periods of lower oxygen have coincided with every mass extinction we know of.

The aftermaths of these extinctions were times of rapid evolution, often producing novel body plans with new, more efficient respiratory systems. Palaeobiologists used to view new respiratory structures as add-ons to body plans evolved largely for movement. Some of us now think that basic designs evolved to maximise respiratory efficiency, with locomotion as a secondary benefit.

then this:



We have been losing oxygen levels due to the burning of Fossil fuels, especially Goal and Oil. This is a serious issue since we used to have 21.4% oxygen only a century ago. Should the oxygen level fall down below 19% then we would suffocate, and this could very well happen since Oxygen levels are still decreasing today, and still due to fusil fuel burning.

Should you wonder what all this has to do with plankton, I am getting there. http://www.trufax.org/general/oxygen.html.

Source of Half Earth’s Oxygen Gets Little Credit, being Plankton and more specifically Phytoplankton that are the base of what scientists refer to as oceanic biological productivity, meaning what allows life to exist such as us mammals and fish and so on.

LOW BODY OXYGEN LEVELS MAY JUST BE THE CAUSE OF ALL SICKNESS & DISEASE! "All chronic pain, suffering and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level." Dr. Arthur C. Guyton, M.D.: T h e Textbook on Medical Physiolog y Atmospheric Oxygen Levels Are Declining! After decades of controversy in the scientific community, research has confirmed that oxygen levels have been declining, and continue to decline. Pollution is a major factor that has affected the quality, and quantity, of oxygen available for respiration and metabolism. Scientists have analyzed oxygen specimen trapped in amber and have determined that oxygen levels at one time were in excess of 35% to as much as 50%! Prior to the advent of the gasoline combustion engine at the turn of the last century, oxygen levels in the air were at about 23%. By the mid 1900s, levels had dropped in major cities to about 19%. By the end of the 20th century, major cities across the globe have reported levels at 15%, and several cities have reported alarmingly low levels, combined with industrial pollution at 10%. This level, if maintained for a prolonged period of time will choke out life

And then factor in the CHEMTRAILS too. We are breathing barium and aluminum and god knows what else 24/7.:sick:

[wolf_rt]

this book by Yogi Ramacharaka 'Science Of Breath' may be of benefit and details the importance of oxygen levels to good health.

This is a daft question, so apologies. I wear a copper bracelet, an old wives tale that it somehow reduces pain from Rheumatism?? It seems to help. I usually have a green band around my wrist as a result of this. Is this helping in other ways as well then? Like as above, for instance, or am I wasting my time?

Yes, I would say it's helping. Not only are you getting the copper absorbed through your skin. But, also as copper has a vibration frequency you've got that to consider too. It's not old wives tale. It's been used by Native Americans for centuries. Copper is very good for helping the nerves, which I think is related to Rheumatism? It's something to do with the nerves and an imbalance in the immune system (digestive tract) I actually highly suggest a copper supplement and pro-biotics supplement as well. Plus there are several herbs out there that would re-balance your immune system that should pretty much take care of it. Our blood prior to all those atomic/nuclear wars in ancient history was copper based.

Relax
the oxygen in our Earth's atmosphere is fine.

The Media has just managed to brainwash the public into thinking that humans are responsible.

Don't waste your precious energy worrying about the oxygen.
There are even idiots that go around looking up in the sky, wondering if the sky is going to fall.

You say that without providing any arguments and mock those above you who are looking into this issue.

Anyone who lives in the city and also likes to go to the mountains can tell there is huge difference in the composition of the air and how it affects your health.

Talking about averages planet wide may not be very useful though... There really is no comparison between highly polluted city areas where you can barely make out the sky and the air in a forest for example. Here in Bucharest in the morning when everybody uses their cars to go to work I can barely breathe.

i work in mining, my main job is to enter confined spaces so we need gas monitors.. the monitor works by testing the atmosphere and breaking down the gases. it only measures the oxygen the monoxides, and explosive gases.. we are not allowed to work in an area that is less than 19% oxygen.
i have used many monitors of different varieties.. and they always show up the normal 20.9% oxygen when tested.. and if other gases are introduced you see the change..
and i travel the world.. so no i see no oxygen depletion here :) maybe it is the altitude the people are not used to wherever they are at that makes them breathless :) or the smoking like me lol
