To maintain this
level, your blood creates its own buffer system consisting of molecules that absorb excess
hydrogen ions if things get too acidic, or release them if the blood is too basic.
acid A chemical that increases the
level of
hydrogen ions (H +) in a solution.
It is not an acid at a physiological pH (PKa ~ 3.5); at high intensities muscle acidity is due to intracellular
hydrogen ion formation within the cell due to higher
levels of ATP hydrolysis and NADH formation (a high ATP demand / O2 supply ratio).
(source) This happens because the amino acid buffers a
hydrogen ion (H +), and this allows the human body to keep it's intensity
level higher... for a longer period of time.
Apart from the salt, ocean air also contains negatively charged
ions of
hydrogen, which is great for improved oxygen absorption, as well as your energy
levels.
If the surface ocean pCO2 concentrations continue to increase in proportion with the atmospheric CO2 increase, a doubling of atmospheric CO2 from preindustrial
levels will result in a 30 % decrease in carbonate
ion concentration and a 60 % increase in
hydrogen ion concentration.
Acid rain, which is the type of rain that possesses high
levels of
hydrogen ions, still has noxious and vile effects on streams, lakes, forests, aquatic animals, infrastructure and plants.
If the surface ocean PCO2 concentrations continue to increase in proportion with the atmospheric CO2 increase, a doubling of atmospheric CO2 from preindustrial
levels will result in a 30 % decrease in carbonate
ion concentration and a 60 % increase in
hydrogen ion concentration.
From preindustrial
levels, contemporary surface ocean pH is estimated to have dropped on average from 8.2 to 8.1, or by about 0.1 pH units (a 26 % increase in
hydrogen ion concentration), and further decreases of 0.22 to 0.35 pH units are projected over this century unless carbon dioxide emissions are significantly reduced (Orr et al., 2005; Bopp et al., 2013).
