According to other Wikipedia answers, breathing by humans produces approximately 2.3 pounds (1 kg) of carbon dioxide per day per person.
If there are approximately 6.8 billion humans on the earth, collectively they would emit 6.8 billion kg per day, or 6.8 million metric tons per day. In a 365 day year, humans would produce 2.482 billion tons from breathing.
The Energy Information Administration of the US government said in their May 27, 2009 International Energy Outlook 2009 that world carbon dioxide emissions were 29.0 billion metric tons in 2006.
Human breathing would then be contributing approximately 8.5% of all CO2 emissions.
It is important to remember that breathing is carbon-neutral, that is, we take in carbon when we eat and drink, and this same carbon is emitted when we breathe. So breathing does not add extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Do humans emit carbon dioxide?
Yes, humans emit carbon dioxide as a byproduct of respiration, which is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Other activities like burning fossil fuels also contribute to human emissions of carbon dioxide.
Do cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Do cars give off carbon dioxide when they are in operation?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide when they are in operation.
Do cars emit CO2 into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Why are bed bugs attracted to me?
Bed bugs are attracted to humans because they are drawn to the carbon dioxide and body heat that we emit. They are also attracted to the scent of our skin and the chemicals in our sweat. This makes us a prime target for bed bug feeding.
Do humans emit carbon dioxide?
Yes, humans emit carbon dioxide as a byproduct of respiration, which is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Other activities like burning fossil fuels also contribute to human emissions of carbon dioxide.
Does Soils emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, I think soil can emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What gasses are you emitting?
Humans emit carbon dioxide by breathing. They also emit carbon dioxide by belching and they emit methane by farting.
Do seeds emit carbon dioxide?
no
Do cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Do cars pollute the air or people?
Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.
Do cars give off carbon dioxide when they are in operation?
Yes, cars emit carbon dioxide when they are in operation.
How much carbon dioxide does a Lorry emit?
500g
What are the two main gases in a volcanoes emit?
Steam, Sulfur dioxide, Carbon Dioxide.
What are the organs that emit and circulate gas in the human body and how are they circulated?
The organs that involve gas are the lungs. They perform a process known as external respiration, or gas exchange, where they release carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen.
Do cut flowers emit carbon dioxide?
Yes, cut flowers can emit carbon dioxide as they undergo respiration post-harvest. However, this emission is typically very minimal compared to the overall carbon dioxide emissions from other sources.
How much carbon dioxide does the Olympic torch emit?
5500 tons of carbon dioxcide
