What’s in the air you breathe? - Amy Hrdina and Jesse Kroll

- Together, nitrogen, oxygen and argon make up 99.93% of our air. So what’s the other .07%? Find out what makes up the air you breathe.
--
Take a deep breath. In a single intake of air, your lungs swell with roughly 25 sextillion molecules, ranging from days-old compounds, to those formed billions of years in the past. In fact, many of the molecules you’re breathing were likely exhaled by members of ancient civilizations and innumerable humans since. But what exactly are we all breathing? Amy Hrdina and Jesse Kroll investigate.

"No matter where you live, we all share the same air." Excellent line👍
I was about to say what about space stations....but then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"No matter where you live we all die because of air. "🙂Excellent line👍
Unfortunately, that's not true at all. Some air is cleaner than others.
Didn't NASA just dump Barium onto the eastern us
@@Daydarkness0 All I can do is quote a very smart fictional person and ask "do you think that is air you're breathing now?" --TED-ED probably.
I find it ironic that the character in a video about what we breathe doesn't have a nose...... XD
Wait a minute, it doesn’t
It doesn't pass the smell test
Breathing is in the mind
alot of people mouth breath nowadays
After knowing that air contains toxic substances cancer I don't want to breathe air but I have to or I die and I don't want to die because I want to live 100+
TED-Ed is better than school honestly
Literally yes
True
PeriodT
Yes
Xdxdxdxdxdxd
For sure..
Science communication at its best!
Our editorial team knows how much research, sweat and visual work scientific stories cost and it's awesome to see that Amy & Jesse always investigate every single detail, no matter how small it might be. Every single pollen, fungal spores, or liquid droplet is getting analyzed and visualized. Always nice to watch!
lets see if someone notices this comment
Terra Mater Your content is good too, I've some of your videos and they're really appreciable. Keep up the good work!!👍👍
@@d.dmalhotra6425 Thanks a lot for your kind words! 🤗
We're just a small team but we're trying our best to shed light on conservation topics & wildlife and it's nice to read that you appreciate our work!
Hello does anyone here believe in Jesus?
Ted Ed: What's in the air?
Me: love?
@D Ess there is smoke in the Amazon rain forest right now. Burning season is starting again
@D Ess here too. #Brazil
@D Ess dude really😒
@@Desi.Superman dont make it political dude just dont give us bad vibes and ignore him
@D Ess 😂😂😂😂
Nobody:
Not a Single Soul:
TedEd: your breathing has been switched from automatic to manual have a good day
Your comment is the one that actually made me breathe manually lol
Focusing on the topic of breathing made me consciously start breathing manually. 😩
@@nathaniellutao1520 actually this reply is the one which made me to breeeeeeeeeeeathe...
See we all are breathing in the excitement of teded uploading a video and your pfp is cute:3
yeah whenever someone talks about breathing you go into manual mode
Apparently on planet ZOID its 90% heroine
Man it must be a blast
Awh yeah
Ye
HEROine.

Once in childhood i breath air for first time, and now i am badly addicted to it. Cant do for even a single minute without it. 😭😭😭🥺🥺
Me neither, I think we need help
It’s a common problem. I have it too. We need to make this more known and talked about.
@@jinniesamericano3416 I'm glad I'm not the only one😓
i'm pretty sure people died from quitting so...
When you are born, you get an addiction of breathing air for the rest of your life
define addiction
You're out of line but you are right.
Addiction
Define addiction and if we ain’t breathing 😮💨 we dieing
LOL
No. Nicotine is addictice because it disrupts receptors and you need to take higher doses to have the same effect. Addictive substances are the ones that you need to take in more and more.
The closest phenomenon to what you're saying is dependency. For example, antidepressants are generally non-addictive but people do not want to stop taking them since quitting antidepressants can bring depression back. They do not need to take more antidepressants. So, it's not addiction. Breathing is like dependency. You don't need to breathe more and more to have the same effect but you need to take it to prevent withdrawal (death in this case).
Let’s all appreciate the effort the ted Ed team go to produce such an interesting video!
No words to appreciate. Thank u Ted-ed❤️💝from 🇮🇳
TED: take a deep breath
Also TED : Starts giving strokes by telling what things are getting in my body
Me: Geez please
geez i'm just breathing
I Discovered this channel and i'm Amazed!
Love from India ❤️🙏
From Bangladesh here, you guys take care amid all the chaos :( sending love and solidarity even if it's just from one person.
*insert mr.incredible meme but with "AIR IS AIR!" here*
?
Lol
It all feels so surreal when we think that maybe we just breathed in a molecule of air billions of years ago, and our breath given out now may get breathed by a plant years and years hence.
Ted ed is awesome! The animation designer deserves credit. 🙌
Pollution everywhere. For these several months, there has been firewood burning odor from my neighborhood and my nose would stuff up and my throat sore in the mornings.
The pandemic we are experiencing puts a great significance on something we found so trivial:Our ability to breathe😌
Hello does anyone here believe in Jesus?
Lots of Love From India TED ED❤️
I wish Ted ed was the school I studied in! They make concepts so interesting. In school our teachers make interesting topics like Algebra boring and hard , unecessarily!
So grow up and become a teacher and work with TED Ed.
I think all educational channels should create a massive univsersity for everything
they teach us that stuff so we can be in a ted ed vid
I love the sound of all ted ed vids❣️❣️
I clicked faster than ever before.
Same.
Sameee
I replied to the comment faster than Usain Bolt running
I am watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
Because I am interested your video
The same thing about all human is " We all breath air and exhale something."
Honestly, this video deserves a like just because they included New Zealand into the globe animations
What’s in the air we breath? Duh
*its air, obviously*
Ted always has many compelling topics that appeal my curiosity to watch it.
Every breath you take. Every move you make.....
No one ....
My brain after reading the title : *corona virus*
@Ace ohh thanks 😅
inhales
ive been binging ted ed videos for quite a while now and i must say i am enjoying this
#TedEdMakesMeSmarter
Never been this early to a Ted-Ed video before! Pumped!
Me too I’m always 4 years late 😂
Yay!
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
mark my words if human beings don't stop the usage of cars and continually perform deforestation we will have to walk out of our houses for menial task such as shopping in oxygen cylinders
The last line was absolutely necessary.
“No matter where we live, we all share thr same air “♥️🔥
Thanks Ted Ed
How many animators do you want?
Ted ed: yes
Every breath you take🎶🎵Every move you make..
I learn more here than in online class
Overused comment
Ted-Ed is simply amazing ❤️
Who took deep breath in the start??😂
So much respect for the narrator ❤️
Same 😂
I'm a simple man,
I see TED ed
I click
TED-Ed: "Every breath you take"
My brain: "Every move you make, Every bond you break, Every step you take, I'll be watching you"
Ah, the stalker song disguise as a love song
@@jeromealday614 It could be an FBI theme song
ted ed makes breathing a whole 'nother science
I am just waiting for another riddle video
🎶 I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord 🎶
Thanks for knowledge
Nice video.
Excellent.
If you have seen *The Lorax*
I believe that the more we chop the lungs of the earth the effect in the future is that we will have to pay for air for our necessities.
Never take for granted the free air that trees has given us.
I had to breathe manually now thx to this video
Like most TED-Ed videos, the episode should have been called, "Let's spend 90% of the video talking about the >0.01% of what the actual title says"
Don't know what to say here but nice info, I guess.
I like this Idea to make an assignment and for presentation 👍🏻but can you suggest on some units?
Before this video: Automated breathing
While watching this video: Manual breathing
TE-DED IS GOOD!!!
It's crazy that .07% of the air is all it takes to change the fundamentality of the earth and
Children should just watch Ted-ed videos twice a day during school week .
"What's in the air you breathe?"
I dunno, probably Methane.
i already know this but i shall watch anyway
What’s in the air you breathe? Me: Air?
This is awesome
The bars on the conclusion 💪
Man.....im sick of being stuck at home...but it has to be done😕
You'd get sick if you're outside of home, so yup! Also, breathe easy ;)
At least we’ve got Ted Ed to entertain us.
Can you guys make some videos on different countries of the world, like, its population, area, language, culture, history etc etc ? I'd love to know about how people lead their life around the globe.....
Take a look at the channel “Slice”, on UA-cam
@@eveneeee Ok thx
@@motoGPxSleeptoken "Geography now", is another one. Can be mistakes in the videos tho
This video was almost good, which is saying a lot for a TED-ED video
Return of the King: Argon Edition
I think I'll just hold my breath from now on.
Sempre aprendendo filosofia por aqui. thank you!
TY 😃
Air is something,so that's nice.
Also I wish you a good day.
My Mom: Son, you must watch an education video, nothing else.
Me: ok, fine....
My Battery: 1%
Also me: Oh no I left the charger at Grandma's!
5 minutes later: (When the video just finished) Phone Dies
How did you comment?
lol xd
1 min into the video and my chest pain begins.
*"Is this it?"*
thanks for the video, now I have to breathe manually
1:47 It's what I say now when I fart in a room with people inside
This will mark the first time most TED viewers find out CO2 is an infinitesimal trace gas.
Make video about pedal edema/fluid overload.
When a car can be instantly, or nearly instantly charged instead of taking hours or days, they'll replace the fossil-fueled cars in an instant.
And... yeah... the range matters too in some cases.
What's in the air we breathe?
*Life*
I clicked faster than my heart can beat per minute
Me: Watches this video
Brain: Activate Manual Breathing
That American potasiam(potassium) Accent 👍👍👍
Consider the following 2 items:
a. The US Fed has a target of 2% inflation every year. But that is also 2% on top of all the 2%'s that came before it, which turns out to be a lot of inflation over time. If people's wages, benefits and even saving's account interest do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, they fall behind in buying power, and zero income is still zero income. But with economic inflation people would have a higher economic mountain to climb. They eventually could become economic slaves to the larger economy. And slavery was supposed to be done away with at least here in the USA. It seems it has been replaced by a system of 'economic slavery'. But also, with economic inflation, people have to work more to earn enough income to live, thereby contributing to more pollution.
Instead of talk like doing away with the penny, they should actually be trying to bring back and maintain the value of the penny. And then have a target of 0% inflation annually.
b. Many nations are moving their nation to being a Hydrogen driven nation for various reasons, some of which are energy independence and not having to fight wars to obtain and maintain fossil fuels. Plus, there would be less pollution in their nation. The by-product of a Hydrogen fuel cell is basically pure water, and the world needs more pure water too.
See my Twitter page under the same name as this comment to see years worth of just some of what this world is already doing with Hydrogen. (The Twitter ID with the '001charlieb' to aid in your search of this 'me' as there are many "me's" apparently in existence).
I like how they included cows/farming as a source of pollutants. It’s very important to know.
Can you do a video about what's in our water and rain? I've heard almost the exact same thing about how "you probably just put the same thing into your body as your ancestors did"
HUMAN: I exhale a waste called Carbon Dioxide. Hence, you live for my waste
PLANT: I release a waste called Oxygen. Hence, you live for my waste
EARTH: I was expecting more than your banters.
I love air. Air is cool! 🤙🏻
at 4:51 the pollution is so bad that we lost Alaska
Yo, can we get a video talking about the great smog of london this video mentioned?
Is microplastic in the air? I have heard that we swallow about a credit cards worth of plastic each month like that. Is that true or just false information I have?
how does ted ed know that we revised the earths atmosphere today
Talked to someone*
Me: i smell 21% fresh air 79% bad breath.
Hi welcome to my Ted talk
What's in the air you breathe?
Me an intellectual:
*Corona*
*Obviously spring is in the air*
Ted-Ed: "the molecules of air you're breathing in were *forged inside the cores of dying stars through nuclear fusion"*
Me: "impressive, most impressive"
Ted-Ed: "Those molecules have been *exhaled by other people since ancient times"*
Me: *pukes in disgusted oonga boonga*
This is what I pay for my internet. Great content
One edit for an early part of the video: argon isn't a molecule - it is an element and exists as atoms. I was watching this to possibly show in my chemistry classes, so I was paying particular attention to the chemistry.
I love Ted-ed it's my Inspiration; wish to be as successful as them❤️❤️🙏🙏
now i know why i feel so bad
Please make a video related to covid 19 vaccines
