Pneumonia will cause decreased oxygenation to tissues resulting in a raise of carbon dioxide. To understand the answer you need to understand the balance of pH and Bicarb. When the carbon dioxide raises the Bicarb reacts and levels fall; therefore, you have compensated respiratory acidosis.

COPD -emphysema and chronic bronchitis
Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli (air sacs in the lung). In people with emphysema, the lung tissue involved in exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is impaired or destroyed.Source: emedicinehealth :)
carbon dioxide
It's part of the diseases grouped under COPD because they have the same pathophysiology. It's caused by an obstruction leading to too much carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Emphysema is an obstructive respiratory disease.
Emphysema and asthma both cause fluid buildup in the lungs and airways causing the body to work harder in order to provide oxygen to the body and to release carbon dioxide from the body. Asthma can also cause airway inflammation.
The characteristic flavor and aroma of lactic acid can indicate that fermentation is occurring. In a sealed container, an increase in pressure from carbon dioxide indicates that a fermentation process is underway.
Low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels are often indicative of chronic bronchitis, but not always of emphysema
high pressure.
Emphysema.
No, emphysema is not a form of cancer. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is characterized by the destruction of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. This leads to difficulty breathing, as the damaged air sacs are unable to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide effectively. Emphysema is usually caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as tobacco smoke, pollution, and chemical fumes. It is a progressive disease, which means that it gets worse over time. While emphysema does not directly cause cancer, people with emphysema are at increased risk of developing lung cancer due to the damage caused to their lungs by the disease. Additionally, smoking is a major risk factor for both emphysema and lung cancer.
Yes, carbon dioxide will liquify under high pressure.
