Variaciones en la densidad del oxígeno en el aire y su influence sobre la salud humana

Abstract

The absence of oxygen can lead to serious health consequences of living organisms, including death. Any change in its density in the air can have consequences for human health, especially in risk groups, and people with heart or pulmonary affections previous. This paper analyzes the effect of variations in the density of oxygen, caused by changes in air masses in the atmosphere, on hospital admissions for cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases, registered in the city of Alicante. In this paper we study the effects of climate change on the increase in risk from cardiac and pulmonary diseases.
