Karl Albert Hasselbalch
Karl Albert Hasselbalch (born November 1, 1874 in Aastrup , Denmark; † September 19, 1962 ) was a Danish physicist and chemist . Together with the physiologist Christian Bohr , the father of Nobel Prize winner Niels Bohr , he is considered to be the pioneer of pH measurements in medicine. He was the first to describe the blood's ability to absorb oxygen as a function of the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood. In 1916 he introduced the logarithmic notation of an equation by Lawrence Joseph Henderson , which is therefore now known as the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation .
