CO2 is a normal byproduct of human life. Our bodies use oxygen to create energy during aerobic activity (with oxygen) and then our bodies produce CO2 due to this activity. The blood takes the CO2 from our cells to the lungs, and then while the blood is picking up more oxygen, it dumps the CO2 so we can exhale it.
Since we exhale CO2 with every breath the gas itself does not cause harm to the structure of the lung. However, we cannot sustain human life without taking in oxygen and breathing out the resulting CO2.
If we were to inhale CO2, we would deprive our bodies of the necessary oxygen and in a short period of time would pass-out. Continued breathing of CO2 would eventually cause respiratory and/or cardiac failure.
What else can I help you with?
Do carbs create C02 in the lungs I have Emphysema and C02 is my enemy By cutting carbs am I slowing down damage?
Carbohydrates do not cause C02 in the lungs. Lung irritants cause emphysema, so the lungs do not clear out C02 as well.

How are the concentration gradients in the alveoli maintained?
The heart is constantly pumping blood around the body. blood entering the lungs is deoxygenated and high in C02 The air in the alveoli has a high oxygen concentration and in comparison is low in C02 This sets up a concentration gradient. This causes oxygen to diffuse into the RBC and C02 to diffuse out in order to try balance the concentration. This balance is maintained by breathing, taking away the C02 in the lungs and bringing in fresh O2 and the constant pumping of blood, bringing more deoxygeneate blood into the lungs
Why does PCO2 increase during hypoventilation?
The concentration of C02 in the lung is usual very low as the rate of inspiration and the exchange of volume between the lungs and the outside flushes the C02 into the air where it is a mere faction of a percent of the environmental gases. In the body however there is a constant metabolism that is producing C02. During hypoventilation the rate of exchange is insufficient to remove the C02 which is being produced faster than it is dissipated.
