malubr 200MEG Iatee A group of students from Indiana (elevation 400', atmóspheric pressure 760 mm Hg) wants to climb Mount Everest (elevation 29,000', atmospheric pressure 253 mm Hg). The concen- tration of O, at both locations is approximately 21% of the atmospheric gasses, but at 29,000' of elevation, the air will have a Po2 of only 53 mm Hg (0.21 • 253 mm Hg = 53 mm Hg Po2) compared to the Po2 = 160 mm Hg (0.21• 760 mm Hg = 160 mm Hg Po2) in Indiana. To make the climb, they must first acclimate themselves to the extremely high altitude and low partial pressure of O2, and one of the results of acclimation will be the development of secondary poly- cythemia.
