CO2 is inevitably created by burning fuels like e.g. oil, natural gas, diesel, organic-diesel, petrol, organic-petrol, ethanol. The emissions of CO2 have been dramatically increased within the last 50 years and are still increasing by almost 3% each year, see graph below:

What is the respiratory mechanism of pH control?

The respiratory system helps control the acidity of the blood by regulating the elimination of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O).These molecules are exhaled with every breath.H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2(carbonic acid)The brain is sensitive to blood CO2 levels and pH.A significant increase in CO2 or decrease below pH 7.38 of arterial blood- causes breathing to increase (in rate and depth)- results in hyperventilation- more CO2 is exhaled- eliminates CO2 - reduces H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- increases pH back to normalA significant decrease in CO2 or increase in pH- causes breathing to decrease- results in hypoventilation- less CO2 is exhaled- increases CO2 - increases H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- decreases pH back to normalRespiratory mechanism (depth and rate of breathing) controls CO2CO2 in solution is an acid.Partial Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) levels in Arterial Blood Gas (ABG).Higher PaCO2 causes acidosis (lower pH), or neutralizes alkalosis.Lower PaCO2 causes alkalosis (raises pH.), or neutralizes acidosis.
