Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not physically dangerous for people. It's perfectly safe to breathe, even if the amount in the atmosphere doubled. What is dangerous is that it's causing global warming and climate change. If that continues it will be really dangerous for everyone.

∙ 12y agoSome carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not physically dangerous for animals or people. It's perfectly safe to breathe, even if the amount in the atmosphere doubled. What is dangerous is that it's causing global warming and climate change. If that continues it will cause considerable economic hardship for most people.
The EPA recommends that maximum continuous CO2 exposure be limited under 1000 ppm (0.1%). Adverse health effects are associated with long term exposure to concentrations significantly higher than that, for humans. Bats, on the other hand, thrive in CO2 concentrations MUCH higher than those that would be toxic to humans.

∙ 11y agobecause if there is an excess of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere,then gases will create a sort of ''greenhouse''effect.

What cellular process produces a high concentration of carbon dioxide in the cell?
Photosynthesis.
Atmosohere and water which has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide?
Atmosphere has the higher concentration of carbon dioxide. If water had a high concentration of carbon dioxide then water would be acidic because it would result the formation of carbonic acid, but water is neutral. The fact that dissolved carbon dioxide create carbonic acid is used in the manufacture of Coca-Cola. So I think it is the atmosphere.
What are high and low carbon dioxide levels?
Today the average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approx. 4oo vpm; some scientists consider that values over 300 ppm are high.
How does carbon dioxide and water moves in out of a cell?
The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium
How does the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect Our environment?
For one, it contributes to Ocean acidification.
What environment does a capnophile prefer?
prefer in high concentration of carbon dioxide

What gas is present in the atmosphere of venus that explain its high surface temperature?
high concentration of carbon dioxide
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
Can you breathe in carbon dioxide?
Sure, as long as the concentration doesn't gets too high.
Can cockroach live in high concentration of carbon dioxide?
Cockroaches cannot withstand high concentrations of carbon dioxide. One of the most widely used methods used for extinguishing cockroaches are coarbon dioxide bombs.
Is the Martian atmosphere dense with a high concentration of carbon dioxide?
No. The Martian atmosphere is very thin, but it does consist mainly of carbon dioxide. Venus is the terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.
What are high and low carbon dioxide levels?
Today the average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approx. 4oo vpm; some scientists consider that values over 300 ppm are high.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.
How does carbon dioxide and water moves in out of a cell?
The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium
Molecues of suger water oxygen and carbon dioxide do not require what to move from area of high to low concentration?
No energy is required to move molecules of oxygen, carbon dioxide, sugar, or water from areas of high to low concentration across a membrane. Instead, diffusion is used.
