OSHA's maximum safe level is 3% (30,000 ppm); lethal concentration (death in 30 minutes) is 10% (100,000 ppm)

0.4% w/v in your blood is the lethal does of alcohol.A liter of hard liquor, such as spirits or vodka.
2.8 blood alcohol level in a female
yes
CO2 in the blood stream can be measured from bicarbonate in the blood or pCO2 (partial pressure). Normal CO2 measured from bicarbonate is 22-28 mEq/L Normal pCO2 is 35-45 mmHg
That is a potentially lethal BAC.
The questions leads towards which physiological important gases the blood contains.When the blood moves TO the lungs it has both CO2 (carbondioxide) and O2 (oxygen). However the level of oxygen is lower, and the level of CO2 is higher than with blood coming from the lungs.
If the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was higher or equal the concentration in the blood, there will be no diffusion of CO2 in the air of the lungs. The person will suffocate in this situation.
Normal CO2 in the blood is the same as Normal PH. Ph is 7.35-7.45 CO2 is 35-45
A CO2 blood level of 31 mmHg likely indicates a lower than normal amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. This could be due to hyperventilation or a respiratory problem. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
In high concentrations CO2 is lethal.
An increase in the level of CO2 in the blood leads to a decrease in pH, making the blood more acidic. This is because carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid in the blood, lowering the pH. The body relies on various mechanisms, such as regulating breathing rate and the kidneys adjusting bicarbonate levels, to maintain blood pH within a narrow range.
In healthy subjects the mean PCO2 fall 18 mm Hg from the baseline and mean PO2 rise 7 mmHg
