Age affects lung capacity. This is because aging causes the alveoli to lose its shape and become baggy. As one ages, less oxygen enters the capillaries and less carbon dioxide is removed, which makes breathing difficulties.

∙ 10y agoit affects it by the toilet cleaner,poison,carbon monoxide,rocket fuel,and sewer gas gets into the lungs and the sewer gas and the carbon monoxide swifts through the two lungs and it affects the number of caoacity and if you have Asthma you start to wheeze and then you you get short of breath.

Does gender effect lung capacity?
Yes, gender does affect lung capacity. Other factors that affect lung capacity include age, weight, height and level of fitness.
Will a person's height or size have an effect on their lung capacity?
Factors such as gender, physical fitness, age, height, and weight can all affect lung capacity. This page offers an explanation on how they affect it: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2003-04/1050155434.An.r.html
What do the results of this experiment show abut lung capacity and age?

What is the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old?
The lung capacity vary on the person's age, gender, where he lives and more. For example, if he lives in a smoke-free area his lung capacity is probably more. The average lung capacity for a human is 4-6 liters of air and the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old is around 4 liters.
What variables affect lung capacity?
Vital capacity is a term which refers to the maximum volume someone can breathe in his lungs [ the max volume of air inhaled after a max exhalation]. It depends on many factors. How fit someone is, smoking, obesity, height, sex, body size and the posture of the body [when someone lies his vital capacity is less than standing]. Also when playing a flute instrument you'll increase your vital capacity,
Is 10 liters a good lung capacity?
It depends on your age, but 10 litres is a VERY good lung capacity for an adult. For a child, 10 litres seems ridiculous because the average is 2 litres.
Does you age affect your lung capacity?
Men have larger lung capacities than women. Tall people also have larger lung capacities than short people. It is said that people aged 20-25 have larger lung capacities than other age groups, Its because by the time you have reached your twenties your lungs have reached their full capacity, but when you are a kid then your lungs aren't fully developed so they don't have a large capacity. From when you are 20 your lung capacity starts going down so an old man has about the same lung capacity as a very small boy.
What would be a science fair project?
theres alot of those like how does age affect lung capacity (i did that it was veryyyyy easy) idk really u could google it but that one lung capacity is easy and fun!
How much air does the right lung hold?
Lung capacity is different for every person. Height, weight, age, health, smoking/non-smoking, etc. all affect your personal lung capacity. This question is impossible to determine. (There are general estimates out there, but they aren't very accurate.)
Why does predicted vital capacity vary with height?
Vital capacity varies depending on the size of the thoracic cavity, which tends to correlate with height. Lung capacity varies with height, weight, age, gender, and ethnicity.
Does age make a difference in lung capacity?
I thinki it affects your lung capacity ecause youre getting older so your lungs slow down in breathing. A kid is very excited which it has alt of energy.
When do your lungs stop growing?
Lung size is proportional to body size. Respiratory tests for diseases like asthma use this fact to determine what your lung capacity "should" be to determine how impaired it is by measuring exhaled breath volumes. Generally the volume is proportional to the cube of the height of the patient compared to observed lung volumes in autopsies. This comparison is age dependent as you get to be about 20, you stopped growing lung tissue and your lung capacity stabilized. This lasts for about 10 years. At about 30 your lungs are on a decline. and you lose 20 percent of your vital lung capacity by about age 35. By 50, you've lost 40 percent of your breathing capacity and the decline continues for life.
