My child has been in Ali, Tibet for ten years. I wonder what his health will be like in the future.

Hello, there are the following damages;

1. The natural environment of Tibet Plateau is characterized by low pressure, low oxygen, dry and cold climate, high wind speed and obvious increase of solar radiation and ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, burns to the skin are inevitable.

Secondly, in the plateau environment, with the increase of altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen in the air decreases continuously. If people are in this anoxic environment for a long time, hypoxemia may occur in severe cases.

Thirdly, because human nerve tissue is the most sensitive to the changes of internal and external environment, brain function damage occurs the earliest under the condition of hypoxia, especially to cognitive functions such as feeling, memory, thinking and attention, which is significant and lasting.

Vision is most sensitive to hypoxia. At an altitude of more than 4300 meters, the night vision function is obviously impaired, and this damage will not be improved because of the compensatory reaction of the body or the decrease of altitude.

Fifth, the hearing function of human body will also be affected with the elevation. People's high-frequency hearing will decline, and the directional ability of hearing will be obviously affected, which is an important reason for accidents.

Sixth, in addition, the sense of touch and pain of the human body will gradually become dull when there is severe hypoxia, and illusions and hallucinations will appear at extreme heights. In terms of memory influence, because memory is extremely sensitive to hypoxia, it is difficult to concentrate, and it is impossible to concentrate on one thing as usual.

Please accept the above. Thank you.
