How much carbon dioxide will kill a human?
Victims of carbon dioxide (CO2) poisoning die of hypercapnia, a condition in which there is too high a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of the metabolic process of cells. It is exhaled by the lungs. Normally, the blood contains 40 mm Hg of CO2. Once the blood contains more than 45 mm Hg of CO2, hypercapnia will start to occur. This disease usually occurs in workers in the mining industry.

If the pH in the blood drops below normal 7.4 what happens?
When blood pH drops below 7.4 it is known as blood acidity: when this occurs, the following symptoms can occur: mucus membrane irritation, skin irritation/rash, heart palpitations, fatigue, and other metabolic disturbances/symptoms. Blood acidity can be caused by a diet too high in sugars, flours and meats: which increases acidity in the blood. Fruits and vegetables increase alkalinity in the blood. If your blood becomes alkaline, that too will have detrimental effects on the body.
