It varies depending on factors like activity level and underlying health conditions. In an enclosed space, high levels of CO2 can lead to symptoms like dizziness and difficulty breathing within minutes to hours, eventually leading to suffocation. It is important to ensure proper ventilation in enclosed spaces to avoid a buildup of CO2.

Do you breathe out as much oxygen as you breathe in?

Yes the same amount will leave you as you take in on average but when you breathe out there will be more CO2 and less oxygen as your body uses Oxygen for it's metabolic functioning and releases CO2 in it's place. So yes same amount out as in but in a different form.


What happens to the co2 you breathe out?

CO2 is heavier than air so it eventually drops to near the ground or, at least, stays low in the atmosphere where it is absorbed by plants that remove the carbon leaving oxygen. All food sources lead back to plants so we end up eating the carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins, among other things, metabolise it and breathe it out as carbon dioxide again. This is called the carbon cycle.


What does the air you breathe turn into?

When you breathe in oxygen, it is used by your body to generate energy through a process called cellular respiration. Oxygen is then converted into carbon dioxide, which is exhaled back into the atmosphere.


What are 2 things that you breathe out?

Carbon dioxide and water vapor are two things that you exhale when breathing.


How can you die instantly if you breathe in carbon dioxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, because it replaces the oxygen gas (O2) in your lungs and blood when inhaled. Without oxygen for aerobic cellular respiration, the cells in your body make less energy and eventuallly die, since all organisms (living things) need energy to live. Mammals (including humans) depend on oxygen gas for their vital energy.
