If a person had brain damage from carbon dioxide poison how long willit last?

uhm..... forever it's brain damage


What long term effects does not having enough carbon dioxide have on the body?

When the body doesn't have enough carbon dioxide in the blood, blood vessels will constrict. This is a long-term effect of having low levels of carbon dioxide.


What activities would NOT increase carbon dioxide in the bloodstream?

All activities release carbon dioxide in the blood stream. As long as you are alive, your cells will continue to produce carbon dioxide. Even resting or sleeping will not stop it.


Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?

You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.


How much atoms of carbon and of oxygen are in each molecule of carbon dioxide?

The name "carbon dioxide" tells you what it is made of and how many atoms are involved, as long as you know that "di" is one of the syllables that means "two." So one molecule of carbon dioxide has one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.


Why do biofuels not contribute to global warming even though burning biofuels releases carbon dioxide?

Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle, in which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and this becomes carbon which is eventually returned to the air when vegetation rots or is burnt, or when animals eat it and respire carbon dioxide back into the air. Thus, although burning of wood and biofuels does release carbon dioxide back into the air, this process does not add to the long term concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. When we create carbon dioxide from carbon that has been sequestered underground, we add new carbon dioxide to the air, increasing its concentration and causing global warming.


Why does carbon dioxide leave the cell during cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide leaves a cell during cellular respiration because it is a waste to the human body and other mammals. If carbon dioxide remains in the blood for too long, the individual will pass out. When carbon dioxide leaves the cell, it leaves our body when we exhale.


How do bushfires increase the Carbon Dioxide in the air?

Bushfires burn wood and vegetation, releasing carbon dioxide into the air, but they do not have a long-term effect on total atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This is because the new growth that follows the busfire will eventually absorb the same amount of carbon as the trees that were burnt.


How long ago did the atmosphere on earth have the most carbon dioxide?

In the Ice Age


Why does air never fill up with carbon dioxide?

Ninety-nine percent of the atmosphere is already filled with nitrogen and oxygen, and carbon dioxide makes up less that 1% of the rest. So it will take a long time for the air to fill up with carbon dioxide.


Do forest fires release carbon dioxide?

The amount of carbon dioxide emitted each year varies according to the amount of forest burnt. However, there is no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from forest fires, as long as the forests are allowed to recover and regrow.AnswerVery little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly... It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%


How does the carbon cycle keep the amount of carbon dioxide constant in the atmosphere?

In pre-industrial times, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2)that animals breathe out was matched by the amount absorbed by plants, so that the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide remained remarkably stable in the range of 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm) over a very long period. Adding additional carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels, overwhelms the carbon cycle and causes the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide to rise beyond this range. Deforestation can break the carbon cycle, first by removing a store of carbon which will be released as additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and in some cases by reducing the ability of nature to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
