It happens all the time. Someone leaves a car running in a garage, someone decides to use a charcoal-fired grill indoors. We lose several here in Florida every year from both causes.
Does NOT happen in an all electric home, unless someone brings something that burns fuel, like propane, gas or any other type. I live in an all electric home and have no problems. All electric home is safe, just do not bring stuff in and burn, like gas heaters or BBQ's.

∙ 10y agoNo, but the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (CO2) if the electricity is generated from non-renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). If the electricity comes from renewable sources, then there are no CO2 emissions.

∙ 12y agoNo. Electrcity cannot emit carbon dioxide itself. However, the process of creating electricity emits carbon dioxide as it usually requires large amounts of burning of oils and coal which are fossil fuels. An alternative would be natural power such as solar or wind.

∙ 9y agoNo. Carbon monoxide is produced on burning fossil fuels like petrol, coal, gasoline, etc.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoElectricity - no. But burning of fossils fuels (in thermal power stations and for other uses) lead to a release of carbon monoxide.

∙ 13y agoNo, Carbon monoxide is the result of incomplete combustion. Electric dryers have heating elements and no actual combustion is taking place.

How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
Why do trees suck in carbon dioxide?
trees suck in carbon dioxide to then release oxygen
Is carbon dioxide air pollution why?
Carbon dioxide is not an air pollutant. However excessive carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere is a pollutant as it contributes to acid rain
What are the word equations for processes that release or store carbon doixide?
Some of the process that fix carbon dioxide are limewater + carbon dioxide equals calcium carbonate + water. Another is calcium carbonate + water + carbon dioxide = aqueous calcium bicarbonate. These equations work in reverse to release carbon dioxide.
What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?
Volcanos release sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash to the atmosphere at the same time

Why does carbon dioxide happen?
When you smoke, ride a vehicle, or use electricity, you let out carbon dioxide.
Do plants and animals release carbon dioxide?
Animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What is the electrical conductvity of carbon dioxide?
Electricity is conducted by free electrons. Carbon dioxide is a gas compound. It does not have free electrons. Sit does not conduct electricity.
What organisms release carbon dioxide?
Plants release carbon dioxide during the night time
Does carbon dioxide and water conduct electricity?
yes
Does carbon dioxide conduct electricity?
currently there is no evidence of this.
What get rids of carbon dioxide?
trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen
Which type of fuel release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide.
How does electricity affect the Greenhouse effect?
Electricity is only indirectly related to the greenhouse effect since it is not a greenhouse gas, however, a lot of electric generation is done by burning fossil fuels, which of course does release carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Any use of electricity has what can be called a "carbon footprint". Of course, that is also true of everything that human beings do. Everything has some degree of impact on global carbon dioxide levels; even breathing releases carbon dioxide.
What animals are effected by carbon dioxide?
All animals are effected. We all release carbon Dioxide as we exhale, and then the trees and plants surrounding absorb the Carbon Dioxide, and release oxygen.
What do plants release?
They release Carbon Dioxide.
