Although CO2 changes very, very slightly on a daily basis, this difference can most likely be accounted for by plants' failure to undergo photosynthesis during night. This means that less carbon fixation occurs, and more is left in the air than during the day time when it is used to make carbohydrates. At the same time, autotrophic organisms such as humans take in oxygen and release more CO2 into the air, so CO2 levels are most likely highest at sunrise.

∙ 14y agoThe opposite is true. At night time, the plants have a limiting factor in the form of light (there is very little indeed). Photosynthesis therefore ceases, and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stops being taken in by plants and used up. Respiration (a process carried out by all organisms and one that produces carbon dioxide as a by-product) continues however. The carbon dioxide levels therefore rise :) x

Why you breathe out carbon dioxide?
We breathe out carbon-dioxide because high levels of carbon-dioxide in the body can be toxic By Akhilesh Sharma
How does smoking affect carbon dioxide levels?
Smoking increases carbon monoxide levels in the blood as opposed to carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin so that smokers have lower blood oxygen levels. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the high levels of carbon dioxide that smokers breathe in as it is 200 times the atmospheric rate.
How do identify carbon dioxide?
With a carbon dioxide detector, meter, or gauge. If oxygen levels and dangerously low and carbon dioxide dangerously high you will have trouble breathing. -written by a weirdo With a carbon dioxide detector, meter, or gauge.

What happens if levels of carbon dioxide or oxygen in your body change?
if the oxygen levels are too low, your muscles won't get the oxygen they need from the blood cells. if the carbon dioxide levels are too high, well, carbon dioxide is a waste product, the same thing will happen. this is why when you hold your breathe you pass out. if the muscles don't get the oxygen they need they can't move.
Do high carbon dioxide levels cause brain damage?
The brain is starved of oxygen, and brain damage and suffocation can be the result.

Are high levels of carbon dioxide bad?
well, you don't breath carbon dioxide, you breath oxygen
What is the term to use for high carbon dioxide levels and low carbon dioxide levels?
Because you might not be able to breathe in the high or low carbon dioxide because it really depends if you are use to it or not but you maybe be able to take it for other reasons.
What is hypercarbia?

What does hypercarbic respiratory failure?
Acute respiratory failure with high carbon dioxide levels
What are high and low carbon dioxide levels?
Today the average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approx. 4oo vpm; some scientists consider that values over 300 ppm are high.
