Altitude sickness

Areas above 3000m are called plateau areas, which are characterized by low air pressure and a corresponding decrease in partial oxygen pressure, which can easily lead to hypoxia. Plateau builders, border guards, and mountain climbers who do not take precautionary measures can cause high altitude sickness or altitude sickness.
