Good day,

I have asked a similar question over at the Botany section, but this time it is concerning the human body. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The two questions I have are:

1. Under the current average earth conditions, how much oxygen do the lungs intake under normal physical conditions?

2. How much carbon dioxide do the lungs output under the same physical conditions?

Thanks for any help,

Tatsu.
