This is a pure curiosity question.
I picked up a new-to-me Predator. Because I live at altitude ~5000' I set the altitude to Auto.
Immediately, the computer flashed a red .17 --- meaning that the PPO2 was lower than the limit amount of .19.
The Predator reports a pressure of 840mBars. So, the PPO2 = .17 is correct.
So, I am living and breathing this "low" value of oxygen. One would assume the "altitude benefit" has me generating the red blood cells to carry more oxygen (IIRC).
That said, does that place me at a higher risk of oxygen toxicity since I can absorb more oxygen from the air at seal level?
I sure hope I asked that right . . .
