following fractures of T5 and T10 vertebrae, shortness of breath is a problem and oxygen level decreased to 93. Anyone with an idea why this is occurring?
the oxygen level decreases
Because due to the over pollution and cutting down the tree's level of Oxygen is decreasing .The level of Nitrogen always remains constant in the atmosphere . The level of Nitrogen doesn't' depend on the level of the Oxygen level.
The oxygen level remains about the same, but the density of the air is reduced.
Hypoxia
The amount of oxygen you get with every breath at the peak of Everest is about 1/4 of what you get at sea level. At sea level, oxygen is about 21% of the gas you breathe. I don't know if that percentage changes with altitude.
Climbers use bottled oxygen on Mount Everest to help them breathe more easily because the higher you climb the less oxygen there is. At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.
The lower the percentage of oxygen air contains, the more frequent a breath must be taken in order to maintain the blood oxygen level at an acceptable level.
It is harder to breathe on the summit of Mount Everest than at sea level due to the lack of oxygen. The higher you climb upwards the less oxygen there is, you enter the death zone where the thin air is.
The higher you climb the less oxygen there is. At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.

At the summit of Mount Everest there is approximately only 33% of the oxygen that is available at sea level.The higher you climb any mountain the less oxygen there is to breathe. This is why climbers carry oxygen cylinders on there backs to help them breathe more easliy.The proportion of Oxygen to other elements is actually very similar to sea level, but the total amount of air or atmosphere is only about one-third that of sea-level, so there is about one-third as much oxygen as there is at sea level.
Answer: Because the percentage of oxygen in the air is not as much as it is at sea level. When higher altitude is attained, oxygen levels drop. Hope this helps.
It changes over time and is actually decreasing.
Planning on going to a trip? Take your own oxygen with you, since you can't breath on Mars. 95.32 percent of Mars' atmosphere contains carbon dioxide. Oxygen level is 0.13% on Mars.
Because the air is thinner up there. There is less oxygen in the air, so it is harder to breathe.
