The average exchange of air per breath is 500 ml for men and 390 mL for women and the average breathing rate is about 12 times per minute. That's about 6 litres a minute, 0.360 m3/hr for men and 4 litres a minute, 0.240 m3/hr for women.

The average respiratory rate varies by by age:

  • Newborns: 44 breaths per minute
  • Infants: 20-40 breaths per minute
  • Preschool children: 20-30 breaths per minute
  • Older children: 16-25 breaths per minute
  • Adults: 12-20 breaths per minute
  • Adults during strenuous exercise 35-45 breaths per minute
  • Athletes' peak 60-70 breaths per minute

As a consequence the actual tidal respiration volume for any individual would have to be calculated.

Answer:

A person breathes about 100 litres (0.1 m3) of air every hour.

The volume of air an average adult breathes in a 1-hour period is approximately 10-15 cubic meters (m3). This estimate is based on a typical resting ventilation rate of 6-10 liters per minute. However, the actual volume can vary depending on factors such as activity level and overall health.
