How much air is breathed daily?

Every day, you breathe in just over 2,000 gallons of air—enough to almost fill up a normal-sized swimming pool. That's a lot of air. It's the amount needed to oxygenate approximately 2,000 gallons of blood pumped through your heart daily.

Their oxygen requirement could be 60 litres per minute or 3,600 litres per hour. In some cases, doctors say, the oxygen requirement need can go up to 86,000 litres per day per patient.
