no, Co2 is not a poisonous gas
Carbon monoxide (CO) is poisonous because of its ability to bind strongly with hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing oxygen from binding and being transported in the body. On the other hand, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a natural byproduct of metabolism and is removed from the body through respiration. In small amounts, CO2 is not toxic, but in high concentrations, it can lead to respiratory issues due to its ability to increase acidity in the blood.
One example of a poisonous gas made up of carbon and hydrogen is hydrogen cyanide (HCN). It is a colorless and highly toxic gas that interferes with the body's ability to use oxygen, leading to suffocation and death. Exposure to even small amounts of hydrogen cyanide can be fatal.
He died after being bitten by a poisonous snake.
The blood changes from low CO2 to high CO2 in the tissues where oxygen is delivered and CO2 is produced as a byproduct of cellular metabolism.
Poisonous is a synonym for toxic.
I suppose so. just remember co2 is poisonous
Nothing. CO2 in high quantities can be an asphyxiant, however, it is not a poison....
Co2 is not needed for animal life, in fact it is poisonous. They breathe it out as a by product from using energy. However, plants must have co2, and emit oxygen as a by product.
well on plants they die and shrivel up like a rasin. then on animals they just cant breathe.
it create soot and carbon monoxide a poisonous substance instead of CO2 and water vapour. See related link
Mainly by photosythesis that converted the CO2 in the poisonous early atmosphere, into oxygen.
A co2 filter to remove the poisonous carbon dioxide from the air.
A co2 filter to remove the poisonous carbon dioxide from the air.
CO2 is produced from the poisonous smoke from cars, factories etc. Natural sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide include from volcanic outgassing, the combustion of organic matter, while aerobic respiration, burning of fossil fuels etc.
The answer is: carbon monoxide
CO2 and smog Added: The above answer is incomplete. Carbon monoxide is the premier gas in car exhaust that is poisonous. This orderless, colorless and tasteless gas binds to the heme in hemoglobin preferentially to oxygen causing a rapid death by asphyxiation.
The answer should be YES, it CAN kill you. CO2 is not poisonous. Neither is water. But both pool (CO2 is heavier than air). So just like you can drown in a bathtub in an inch of water (face down), you could "drown" in a bathtub filled with a few inches of CO2. > On August 21, 1986, Lake Nyos suddenly emitted a large cloud of CO2, which suffocated 1,700 people.
