How many lungs a person need to survive?

Well, if you take into account the density of air, you will realise that the main factor isn't how many lungs one has, but the strength of those lungs that decides whether a human survives or not. For example, my auntie has 3.14159~ lungs (above average) but she neglects the need to exercise them frequently. It is necessary to do exercises for your lungs at least twice a day to achieve maximum efficiency of the respiratory system. However, to answer your question, studies show that a person needs approximately 3.01x10^26 lung particles before they can rise above 12 years old.
