In small quantities NO!!!

We humans , like all animals, exhale carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is not fully exhaled with each breath , because CO2 helps to regulate one's breathing.

If you try to expel all the air (CO2), by forcibly exhaling, from your lungs, you will start panting, until the CO2 level is naturally restored.

Carbon dioxide is then absorbed by green plants. In the process of photosynthesis, the CO2 is broken down in the plant. The Carbon component forms part of the biomass of the plant, and the oxygen compnent is released into the atmosphere, for animals to breath oxygen.

NB

Do NOT confuse Carbon Dioxide (CO2) with Carbon Monoxide(CO). Carbon monoxide is poisonous to animals. On inhaling Carbon Monoxode, initially you will develop a headache, followed by drowsiness, and sleep and ultimately death. It doesn't make you vomit or choke and you cannot smell it. You just die by falling asleep.

Does carbon dioxide pollute water?

Carbon dioxide itself does not directly pollute water in the same way that other pollutants do. However, when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which can lead to a decrease in the pH of the water (ocean acidification) and potentially harm aquatic life.

Does carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide cause any problems?

Yes, both carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide can contribute to negative environmental issues. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. Sulfur dioxide can lead to acid rain, which can harm ecosystems and infrastructure.


Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.


How does carbon dioxide affect the hydrosphere?

Carbon dioxide absorbed by the oceans can lead to ocean acidification, which can harm marine life such as corals and shellfish. Increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can also contribute to global warming, leading to rising sea levels and changes in ocean currents that can impact the hydrosphere.


What does fossil fuels produce when they are burn?

When fossil fuels are burned, they produce carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. They also release other pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can harm human health and the environment.
