Excess Carbon dioxide Respiratory acidosis is a medical emergency in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood and decreases the blood's pH (a condition generally calledacidosis).
Carbon dioxide is produced continuously as the body's cells respire, and this CO2 will accumulate rapidly if the lungs do not adequately expel it through alveolar ventilation. Alveolar hypoventilation thus leads to an increased PaCO2 (a condition called hypercapnia). The increase in PaCO2 in turn decreases the HCO3−/PaCO2 ratio and decreases pH.
CO2 in general is not considered harmful unless allowed to concentrate in a confined place for example and displaces O2.
CO2 is classed as an asphyxiant gas

∙ 13y agoCO2 gas is the gaseous form of carbon dioxide, a gas made of two oxygen atoms bound to a single carbon atom.
Aside from being involved in almost all respiratory processes on the planet it has many industrial uses, most often to create an oxygen-free environment for things such as welding and fighting fires .
