Air conditioners do not emit carbon dioxide because they are sealed systems. Their electric motors are also emission free unlike gas or electric engines. However, most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), so any use of air conditioners has a carbon footprint (that is, carbon dioxide emissions).

Do air conditioners produce carbon dioxide?
No, air conditioners just blow out hot or cold air, so they don't produce carbon dioxide.The use of air conditioners adds to carbon dioxide emissions because energy is used making them, as well as running them. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What does the increase of carbon dioxide in the air mean?
It means that there is more carbon dioxide (unbreathable air) gets in to are air
Is carbon dioxide air pollution why?
Carbon dioxide is not an air pollutant. However excessive carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere is a pollutant as it contributes to acid rain
Does respiration add carbon dioxide to the air?
Yes, respiration does add carbon dioxide to the air
How is carbon dioxide released into the air by carbonate rocks?
When acid rain reacts with the carbonate rocks, carbon dioxide is usually released into the air.
Do cars pollute the air or people?
Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.

Why are plants called nature's air conditioners?
it is called natures air conditioners because they purify the air by absorbing carbon-dioxide and releasing oxygen by photosynthesis.the presence of carbon -dioxide increases the temperature of atmosphere.all plants give out in excess water during transpiration in the form of water vapour
How could trucks cause pollution in the air?
They emit horrific greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide & methane that pollute the air.
WHY breads are having holes in them?
Breads have holes in them because they emit carbon dioxide in the bread. The carbon dioxide expands more than the air and water in the bread, thus making large holes.
Why do you emit white clouds from your mouth in winter?
It is caused by the difference in air temperature and the temperature of the carbon dioxide released from your mouth.
Does carbon dioxide dissolve into air?
Carbon dioxide IS air
How do trees ceep us alive?
Trees keep people alive by using the carbon in the air for respiration. Humans need oxygen for breathing and emit carbon dioxide. All plants, including trees, need carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. This keeps the two gases in balance on earth and ensures the availability of both.
Do cars emit carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?
The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.
What are some benefits of nuclear power plants?
Reduction in Air Pollution. Nuclear power can also be part of a strategy to address carbon emissions. Nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, or nitrous oxides.
What type of radiation does air conditioners emit?
Air conditioners are not designed to emit any electromagnetic radiation. If an old one does, it's usually in the form of radio waves, coming from the unintentional sparking inside an old motor, and causing raspy noise in nearby AM radios.
Is carbon dioxide than air?
Carbon dioxide is more dense than air.
