Best Answer

1. Carbon dioxide is a gas, non-toxic, with the formula CO2.

2. Carbon dioxide is not harmful for drivers. But:

- carbon dioxide is harmful for the life on the earth because is a green house gas

- carbon dioxide is not a breathing gas and did not maintain animal life

- carbon dioxide is useful for plants, important in photosynthesis

What are the health and environmental effects of carbon dioxide?

Health: Negative: Carbon dioxide is harmful to the body since it replaces oxygen in the blood. If not enough oxygen is breathed in as a result of excess carbon dioxide in the air, a person may faint, and possibly die. (Oxygen is needed for respiration to produce energy!).Environmental: Negative: Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which doesn't allow heat from the earth to escape into the atmosphere and then into space; instead, it traps the heat which contributes to global warming. Positive: Plants require carbon dioxide which combines with water to produce oxygen, used by most living things, and glucose. Without carbon dioxide, this photosynthesis reaction cannot take place.


Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?

When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.

How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.


Is carbon dioxide cold in gas form?

No. Carbon dioxide gas is not necessarily any temperature. It may be cold in some cases, but as a component of the atmosphere it is often found at room temperature. Since it is a product of combustion, extremely hot carbon dioxide may be found in most flames.
