How does change in temperatures affect breathing specifically with individuals who have COPD.
COPD and Climate change.
Conceptual Inquiry- How does change in temperatures affect breathing specifically with individuals who have COPD.
Quantitative Inquiry- How much can the changes in convection influence the amount of air inhaled and exhaled during different climate changes.
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.
Here, I got to investigate how the transfer of heat in air (a fluid) can influence the breathing habits of an individual with COPD. Seasonal exacerbations of COPD symptoms can become so terrible that individuals who are places in hot or humid temperatures may move to a cooler climate. I will attempt to explain this, the heat that they experience as well as add my own knowledge of physics.
