Atmospheric pressure decreases following the Barometric formula with altitude while the O 2 fraction remains constant to about 100 km (62 mi), so pO 2 decreases with altitude as well. It is about half of its sea-level value at 5,000 m (16,000 ft), the altitude of the Everest Base Camp , and only a third at 8,848 m (29,029 ft), the summit of ...
