Editing Bohr effect (section)

=== Controversy ===
There is some more debate over whether Bohr was actually the first to discover the relationship between CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen affinity, or whether the Russian physiologist {{ill|Bronislav Verigo|ru|Вериго, Бронислав Фортунатович}} beat him to it, allegedly discovering the effect in 1898, six years before Bohr.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/medic2/8579|title=Вериго эффект - это...

Kohlensaureausscheidung in den Lungen," [The question about the effect of oxygen on the secretion of carbonic acid in the lungs]. Pflügers Arch. ges. Physiol. (in German), 51 (1892), 321-361.

Another challenge to Bohr's discovery comes from within his lab. Though Bohr was quick to take full credit, his associate Krogh, who invented the apparatus used to measure gas concentrations in the experiments,<ref>A. Krogh, "Apparat und Methoden zur Bestimmung der Aufnahme von Gasen im Blute bei verschiedenen Spannungen der Gase," [Apparatus and methods for the determination of the absorption of gases in the blood at different tensions of the gases]. Skand. Arch. Physiol. (in German), 16 (1904), 390-401.</ref> maintained throughout his life that he himself had actually been the first to demonstrate the effect. Though there is some evidence to support this, retroactively changing the name of a well-known phenomenon would be extremely impractical, so it remains known as the Bohr effect.<ref name=":3" />
