Does carbon dioxide makes septic tanks smell?
CO2(carbon dioxide) is a colorless, odorless gas.ANS2:Septic tanks don't smell, they stink. The stench comes in part from hydrogen sulfide that is produced during the anaerobic decomposition of organic material. There are other gases that add to the aroma but CO2 is not one of them because it has no odor.
Why is it bad to have lots of carbon dioxide in the air?
Carbon dioxide is not poisonous, but it won't sustain life. If you breathe carbon dioxide in strong concentrations that exclude sufficient oxygen you will suffocate and die of lack of oxygen. This happens occasionally as an industrial accident when workers enter food processing tanks in which fermentation has consumed all the oxygen. Such tanks should always be ventilated with a strong blower. Global warming is not going to produce enough carbon dioxide to suffocate anybody.
