                                The average adult at rest consumes about 7 to 8 liters of air per minute, which totals over 11,000 liters of air per day. But of this massive volume, exactly how much O2 does a human need per day for survival and optimal function? The answer depends heavily on your metabolic rate and activity level, revealing a fascinating aspect of human physiology.
