Peat argues that by the Bohr-Haldane effect, the lower oxygen partial pressure at high altitude results in less CO2 unloading of hemoglobin as blood passes through the lungs. The result is that the body retains CO2. The elevated CO2 in the tissues results in more oxygen unloading from hemoglobin as it passes through the tissues.
So if Peat is right, we should expect that blood CO2 is higher at high altitude, right? Well this study showed lower blood CO2 when participants went up to a high altitude location.
