The average adult at rest inhales and exhales something like 7 or 8 liters (about one-fourth of a cubic foot) of air per minute. That totals something like 11,000 liters of air (388 cubic feet) in a day.
The air that is inhaled is about 20-percent oxygen, and the air that is exhaled is about 15-percent oxygen, so about 5-percent of the volume of air is consumed in each breath and converted to carbon dioxide. Therefore, a human being uses about 550 liters of pure oxygen (19 cubic feet) per day.
A person who is exercising obviously uses a lot more oxygen than that. You could determine how much air is moving through your lungs by exhaling into a plastic bag of known volume at each breath and seeing how long it takes to fill the bag.

How does pneumonia affect the circulatory system?
CopD can affect this system because the lungs can't take in as much oxygen so air can't go to the organs that need them. In other words, CopD can contribute to a lot of things but can't when there is not enough air. Many people have CopD and it is becoming more common. To me, CopD is becoming more common because people smoke and as much as smoking is common, that too is also becoming more common. I hope that I clearly answered this question. Thank you.

What Are Some Of The Stages Of COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a condition that gradually decreases lung function. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema can be classified as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. COPD can be classified as mild, moderate, severe or very severe. Below is an explanation of the different stages of COPD: Stage One Or Mild COPD Coughing and mucus are some of the symptoms that may be present during the first stage of COPD. The COPD usually does not interfere with a person's life during this stage. In fact, many people do not even realize that they have COPD. Mild COPD can usually be treated with a short-acting bronchodilator. Stage Two Or Moderate COPD People who have moderate COPD may begin to experience shortness of breath during physical activity, such as climbing stairs. Mucus production becomes excessive during this stage. People may also notice that they are coughing a lot more than usual. Both short-acting and long-acting bronchodilators are used during this stage. People are also encourage to engage in moderate exercise so that they can maintain their lung function. Stage Three Or Severe COPD Severe COPD will have a negative impact on a person's life. People with severe COPD may not be able to complete normal activities without experiencing shortness of breath. Lung function is significantly reduced during this stage. Two or more bronchodilators are required to treat COPD. Patients will also need to attend pulmonary rehab. Furthermore, patients are at an increased risk for developing complications from the flu or pneumonia. That is why they will need to be vaccinated against both illnesses. Stage Four Or Very Severe COPD This is a very serious stage of COPD. Coughing, mucus production and shortness of breath will become chronic. In fact, a person may not even be able to eat without experiencing those symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroids, bronchodilators and oxygen therapy are recommended as treatment options. Surgery may also be needed to remove the damaged lung tissue.
