Carbon Dioxide, or CO2 is expelled when you exhale. Therefore, if there are a lot of people in a small area with poor ventilation, CO2 levels will rise somewhat. CO2 is a harmless gas.
I hope you're not talking about CO, which is carbon monoxide, which can kill you. You should have a carbon monoxide detector which would tell you if it is detected. If it is, you need to leave and ventilate the area.
Another source of both CO and CO2 is a fire. Burning many things release these gasses (including smoking).

What are the symptoms of high CO2 levels?
what is considered high levels of co2
What effect does rapid exhalation of CO2 during excerise have on the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood?
During exercise it has no effect. Without the exercise it would lower the CO2 (or H2CO3) levels.
Place where blood changes from low CO2 to high CO2?
veins
How does CO2 affect pH levels?
CO2 dissolves in water and forms H2CO3, a weak acid. Therefore, the presence of CO2 will lower the pH slightly from its previous level.
When blood CO2 levels increase does the pH increase or decrease?
It decreases.
What are the symptoms of high CO2 levels?
what is considered high levels of co2
Explain what would happen to CO2 and nox if the co levels were high?
CO2 levels would go down because CO2 is an efficiency indicator and high co levels means it would be a rich condition so efficiency would be low and in a rich condition nox goes down
Can high Co2 levels cause a stroke?
yes and strock can cause high co2
What are bodily symptoms of increased CO2 levels?
Increase in confusion, and finally loss of consciousness, coma and death (with high enough CO2 levels).
What is the relationship between increased blood carbon dioxide respiratory rate and depth?
CO2 is the primary cvontrol for rate of breathing (not oxygen as many would expect). High levels of CO2 are very toxid to the tissues of the body and os it was allowed to remain in the blood most of these tissues would die off. And so sensors within the blood systmem detect the CO2 levels and stimulate faster deeper breathing if thesae elvels are to high for safety.
What is above normal levels of carbon dioxide?
Above 400 ppm of co2 would be considered high.
What are normal co2 levels in the body?
What are normal CO2 levels in the human bod
Can you get brain damage from high levels of co2?
The brain and lungs continually use an O2-CO2 feedback mechanism. High CO2 in the body triggers us to breathe. High CO2 in the air, however, eventually cause us to stop breathing after period of deceased oxygen. This causes brain damage and can cause organ damage.
What is the percent of atmospheric oxygen needed to support combustion Can levels of CO2 ever get high enough to make combustion difficult?
Fire fighting school in the 1970s taught us 15% oxygen level si necessary to support combustion. In a natural situation, no. Current levels of CO2 are 0.038% Levels of over 15% would be needed to even slow the burn down. Lack of Oxygen would be the determining factor
The concept of fire prevention is to?
Preserve the land and keep out high levels of CO2 also known as carbon dioxide.
What does CO2 blood level of 31 mean?
CO2 regulates the body breathing functions. The normal range is 23 to 32. A level of 31 is within the normal range. High levels of CO2 could indicate a breathing problem.
Does the breathing control center in the brain monitor the rising CO2 levels in the blood?
Quite so. The brain stem detects high levels of carbon dioxide and triggers breathing.
