description: This issue examines how the lung responds to various extreme environments, such as high altitude, low altitude (diving), space and weightlessness, hyperthermia/hypothermia, and extreme exercise. Examining the lung in such situations helps us to better understand lung functioning in general. Furthermore, people are increasingly exposing themselves to extreme environments in their work and travels.
