Detailed Solution

Reduction in pH of blood will decrease the affinity of haemoglobin with oxygen. Reduction of pH occurs when H+concentration increases. When haemoglobin binds to H+, it unloads oxygen (Bohr effect) in the tissues,  low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration (low pH) and higher temperature favour the dissociation of oxygen from the oxyhaemoglobin.
