What is the reaction that can be slowed down due to lung damage?
Lung damage can slow down the reaction of gas exchange, particularly the diffusion of oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the alveoli and the bloodstream.

This compromised gas exchange can result in symptoms such as shortness of breath and decreased physical endurance.
