[DC]How can the Atom(Ray Palmer) breathe when he shrinks to subatomic sizes.

I believe he has previously demonstrated the ability to shrink other matter around him to relative proportions as well, so it's probably some kind of shrinking field that around him that he can manipulate, including shrinking the air around him until it is small enough to breathe.
