Is carbon dioxide dangerous

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide is dangerous to the body because as the concentration of C02 rises in the blood is acidifies the blood. The enzymes and other chemical reactions of the body are very sensitive to changes in the concentration of hydrogen ions (pH) so the partial pressure of C02 in the blood has to be very tightly controlled. The response to exercise and rise of C02 in the blood is an immediate increase in the rate of respiration which flushes the C02 from the body returning blood pH normal and healthy level.

Answer 2

One of the most dangerous thing about the carbon di oxide is that it can cause suffocation in humans if in excess amount and result into death also. The increasing amount of cabondioxide in the atmosphere is also a reason for global warming which we all know is a serious problem now.

Answer 3

There are no real dangers of carbon dioxide, it is just an un reactive gas. If you are in a room with 100% carbon dioxide, it is the lack of oxygen that will kill you and not the presence of carbon dioxide.

Answer 4

Put very simply;

Light/heat enters our atmosphere and, while some of it is absorbed into the earth, a lot is then reflected back upwards and out of the atmosphere again.

Carbon Dioxide acts as a barrier for this solar radiation, stopping the heat from escaping. Too much C02 causes a lot of this heat to be trapped, thus warming up the Earth over time, which leads to ice caps melting, sea levels rising and polar bears dying... etc. etc...

Answer 5

If we breathe it in our lungs start singing and then they get tired out and die a slow death.

Answer 6

Too much Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

Answer 7

If the concentration is too high, it has displaced too much oxygen, and even though carbon dioxide is not poisonous it will still kill you because of lack of oxygen.
