How Does Oxygen Stay In A House Or Car?

422 views

Ever since I was a kid I always wondered how people are not suffocating from staying in their house. Like if all windows are closed how does air get in? Wouldn’t we just breath up all the available air in a matter of hours and die? Same goes for cars too. If I’m on a long road trip and the windows are closed how am I still alive?

Short answer: It’s not actually airtight.

Long answer: Well, it doesn’t really need a longer answer. That’s it. It’s not airtight. Some air gets exchanged. If it actually *was* airtight the problem you mention would occur.
