What effects upon the respiratory center do increased carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions have?

In a normal person the respiratory drive is controlled by the central chemoreceptors in the hypothalmous. These receptors are sensitive to changes in pH. CO2 effects pH by the hasselbach equation:
H+HCO3 = CO2+H2O
So basically the more CO2 your body has on bord the lower the pH is and the more stimmulation there is to the central chemoreceptors causing a desire to breath and blow off that CO2. In emphasima patients their Co2 is so chronically high their respiration is driven by their peripheral chemoreceptors that are sensitve to O2 levels in the blood not pH. This is why one needs to be very careful when giving oxygen to emphasima patients. If the O2 level of their blood is too high there would be no stimulation to breath and they could stop breathing.

What negative effects do humans have on the clownfish and its environment?
The negative effects that humans have on the clownfish and its environment is the increased supply of carbon dioxide. Increased carbon dioxide causes the clownfish to lose the sense of smell and swim towards the predators.
What gases do volcanoes release into the atmosphere?
Many gases are released by Stratoolcanoes, including Sulphur Dioxide (which harms the Ozone layer and cause acid rain), Carbon Dioxide (which causes a natural "Greenhouse effect"*) , hydrogen chloride (which effects animals eyes and respiratory system causing them to irritate and can cause effects on human beings.) Thank you very much for reading, Fumfig.

Is hydrogen acidic or alkaline?
Hydrogen will increase the acidity of a solution, otherwise know as pH. the lower the pH the higher the acidity. Adding carbon dioxide (breathe through a straw) will reverse the effects and increase the pH, making it more basic.

What happens to the respiratory depressant effects of a medication when combined with alcohol or another drug with respiratory depressant effects?
The respiratory depressant effects of a medication when combined with alcohol or another drug with respiratory depressant effects is cumulative. That means they add to each other, so the effect increases. Therefore, the risk of death is greater. You should always follow the instructions about combining drugs like these with alcohol.
