Reduction of O2- and N2-partial pressures in inspired air at btps conditions (100% saturated water vapour pressure depends only on temperature) with increasing altitude exposure (decreasing barometric pressure). Altitude diseases due to hypoxia can be compensated by O2-breathing and/or travelling in pressurized cabins.
