The percentage of oxygen you are receiving from a given flow rate is not a precise science but there are some guidelines you can rely on for a relatively accurate estimate.
Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin unsaturated saturated in the blood the human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood.
Before we can answer the question of how to measure oxygen levels in a room we must look at why you re measuring oxygen levels in a room.
The human body takes the oxygen breathed in from the lungs and transports it to the other parts of the body via the body s red blood cells.
