What percentage of water is lost through the respiratory system?

The normal daily input of water is about 2.5 L from beverages food, and metabolism. The normal daily output of 2.5 L consists of 1.8 L in urine, sweat, and feces, plus 0.7 L in insensible water loss. Insensible water loss is water that evaporates through the skin and from the respiratory tract. Insensible losses account for 0.7 L of water loss per day. The average human exhales an average of 0.35 L of water each day. This corresponds to about 14% of water lost through respiration.

Approximately 14% of daily water loss occurs through the respiratory system, which equates to about 0.35 liters daily. This water loss is part of the overall daily output of approximately 2.5 liters from the body. Understanding this process helps us recognize the importance of hydration in our overall health.
