John Scott Haldane (1860–1936) was a prominent Scottish physiologist, biochemist, and philosopher known for his significant contributions to the field of respiratory physiology and gas exchange. He is particularly recognized for his research on the effects of gases on human health, including the study of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood. One of his notable achievements was the development of the Haldane effect, which describes how the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin affects its affinity for carbon dioxide.
