Carbon dioxide kills by keeping oxygen-breathing organisms from getting oxygen. The more carbon dioxide there is, the less oxygen can be contained in the air. If the amount of oxygen falls below a critical level, there is no way for the organism to continue to carry out life-sustaining processes, and the organism dies.

∙ 9y agoNo, CO2 will not kill trees, but a substantial amount of it would succeed in harming it. And it is able to harm O2 breathing animals. Just so you know, I am boss in this type of science things, so... yeah.

∙ 14y agoNo, carbon dioxide is not toxic, and wont kill you, or any other living thing. However, if you breathe just carbon dioxide you will die because there won't be any oxygen there, not because you are being poisoned.

Carbon Dioxide
What is the effect of increasing carbon dioxide in the air?
kiira says it may get to the stage where it will kill us:)
Which gas is contained in the soda water?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is mainly produced by the decomposition of pressurized carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide taste of anything?
Tasting carbon dioxide can kill you.
The benefits of using carbon dioxide detectors?
To check if there is too much carbon dioxide in a given area because it can kill you
What are some health and environmental hazards of carbon dioxide?
There are no health hazards from breathing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but breathing pure carbon dioxide will kill you. The environmental hazard from carbon dioxide is that it is one of the greenhouse gases that is causing global warming.
What type of gases kill flames?
Carbon Dioxide, or C02
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide.
What colour would Carbon dioxide change limewater to?
Carbon dioxide.
What gas is exhaled from the lungs?
carbon dioxide
Why carbon monoxide poisonous whereas carbon dioxide is not?
Monoxide is odorless and contains harmful elements in it, that can actually kill a person.
What do you get adding one carbon and two oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?
Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
The emission of carbon dioxide would determine the survival of life on the earth?
No, it will not ensure that but kill us. It is because the oxygen creating trees take up carbon dioxide to make oxygen.
