1. Carbon dioxide is a gas, non-toxic, with the formula CO2.

2. Carbon dioxide is not harmful for drivers. But:

- carbon dioxide is harmful for the life on the earth because is a green house gas

- carbon dioxide is not a breathing gas and did not maintain animal life

- carbon dioxide is useful for plants, important in photosynthesis

Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?

The planet may experience wide temperature extremes due to the thin atmosphere's inability to retain heat. The presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may contribute to a greenhouse effect, further influencing the planet's climate. The lack of a thick atmosphere may also leave the surface exposed to harmful solar radiation.

Is carbon dioxide bad for the human body?

It is not actually a poison. The body has no use for it. It displaces Oxygen, which is required. So you suffocate. More Co2, prevents waste CO2 from leaving the body. The excess can cause brain swelling.


What are the health and environmental effects of carbon dioxide?

Health: Negative: Carbon dioxide is harmful to the body since it replaces oxygen in the blood. If not enough oxygen is breathed in as a result of excess carbon dioxide in the air, a person may faint, and possibly die. (Oxygen is needed for respiration to produce energy!).Environmental: Negative: Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which doesn't allow heat from the earth to escape into the atmosphere and then into space; instead, it traps the heat which contributes to global warming. Positive: Plants require carbon dioxide which combines with water to produce oxygen, used by most living things, and glucose. Without carbon dioxide, this photosynthesis reaction cannot take place.


Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?

When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.


Is breathing regulated mainly by response to the level of carbon dioxide in the blood?

Yes, breathing is primarily regulated by the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the body signals the need to breathe more to expel excess carbon dioxide and take in fresh oxygen. Conversely, if carbon dioxide levels drop too low, breathing may decrease to retain carbon dioxide.

Name four harmful substances that may be produced when fuels burn?

Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide are harmful substances that can be produced when fuels burn. They contribute to air pollution and have negative impacts on human health and the environment.
