IHS Trivia Question 4

How many gallons of air does the average adult human inhale daily?

a. 30
b. 300
c. 3,000
d. 30,000

The answer is C, 3,000!

On average, people take 24,000 breaths each day. Each minute we breathe about 2 gallons of air, which means we take in close to 3,000 gallons in one day! Breathing is one of the few bodily functions which, within limits, can be controlled both consciously and unconsciously. So happy spring, go out and enjoy a breath of fresh air!

Stay curious,
