Oxigénszintje

Oxigénszintje refers to the oxygen level in a specific context, most commonly within a biological or environmental setting. In human physiology, it pertains to the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood or present in the tissues. This is often measured using a pulse oximeter, which is a non-invasive device that estimates the percentage of hemoglobin carrying oxygen. A normal blood oxygen saturation level is typically between 95% and 100%. Deviations from this range can indicate various medical conditions, such as respiratory illnesses or cardiovascular problems.

In an environmental context, oxigénszintje can describe the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water bodies like lakes, rivers, or oceans. Aquatic organisms rely on dissolved oxygen for survival. Low oxygen levels, known as hypoxia, can be caused by factors such as pollution, excessive algal growth, or high water temperatures, leading to stress or death for fish and other aquatic life. Similarly, the term can be used to discuss the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere, though this is generally more stable and less prone to significant fluctuations in breathable air. Understanding and monitoring oxigénszintje is crucial for maintaining health and ecological balance.
