It should be at least 99.5 percent CO2.
It depends on a number of factors such as age, heart rate and depth of breathing. However, on average a human being exhales around 40,000 PPM of CO2.
To calculate the parts per million (ppm) of CO2 in the air, you would measure the concentration of CO2 in the air using a CO2 sensor or monitor, and then divide that by the total volume of the air sample. This would give you the ppm of CO2 in the air sample. Common methods include using infrared gas analyzers or chemical absorbents.
A CO2 probe sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide. It comes in two ranges, 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm.
measures how many (usually) parts per million (ppm) of whatever smoke/gas/etc is being looked for. For instance a smoke detector looks for X ppm of smoke in air, or a CO2 sensor measures the ppm of CO2 in air - ppm is a measure of density.
The concentration of CO2 in rainwater with a pH of 5.6 is approximately 10 parts per million (ppm).
In 2003 carbon dioxide emissions were 370 ppm (parts per million). This year (2013) they reached 400 ppm. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution they had been 280 ppm for thousands of years.

We won't asphyxiate. But CO2 is a heat trapping gas, and it takes decades for the earth to adjust to any slight rise. Human activity has increased CO2 levels from 280 ppm prior to the industrial revolution to nearly 400 ppm today. We will pass 500 ppm before 2050, at the current rate. Many climate scientists believe 350 ppm may be the maximum sustainable level for CO2.
Global carbon dioxide levels are highest in May and lowest in October. The Northern Hemisphere has much more land for vegetation to grow on compared to the Southern Hemisphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up slowly during the northern winter, when trees and plants are dormant. Then in May everything begins to grow, and CO2 is taken out of the atmosphere, so the levels start coming down. In October and November vegetation stops growing, and in its dormant state it stops absorbing CO2, so the carbon in the atmosphere increases. These levels go up and down like this every year. The readings for 1958, 1959 and 1960 show this: 1960: May: 320.5 ppm: October: 314.5 ppm 1959: May: 320.0 ppm: October: 313.5 ppm 1958: May: 318.0 ppm: October: 313.0 ppm Ppm means parts per million, so 320 ppm is the same as 0.032 percent (per hundred). The recent readings for May are: 2011: 394.35 ppm 2010: 393.22 ppm 2009: 390.18 ppm See the graph at the link below.
-- Take the number of percent. -- Multiply it by 10,000-- The answer is the number of parts per million. . 10 percent = 100,000 parts per million.
No, 310 ppm (parts per million) of carbon dioxide is considered a high concentration in the atmosphere. The current level of atmospheric CO2 is over 400 ppm, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels. This increase is contributing to global warming and climate change.
0.04 percent is 400 per million.
