CO2
Q. How is carbon dioxide and oxygen balance maintained in the atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plants during photosynthesis and carbondioxide released by human,animals etc. in the atmosphere. As we leave carbon dioxide and take in oxygen the ballance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made.

Q. How is carbon dioxide maintained in the atmosphere?
When biomass is subjected to decomposition or combustion, the carbon fixed in living matter is also released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is compensated for by photosynthesis and by the dissolution of the gas in the oceans.
Q. Is too much carbon dioxide bad for you?
Exposure to CO2 can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, and convulsions.
Q. What season is CO2 highest?
and are related? [Answer: CO2 in the atmosphere decreases during the growing season and increases during the rest of the year, which leads to maximum buildup in April and May before photosynthesis begins to take over again.
| 250-400ppm | Normal background concentration in outdoor ambient air |
| 400-1,000ppm | Concentrations typical of occupied indoor spaces with good air exchange |
| 1,000-2,000ppm | Complaints of drowsiness and poor air. |
Q. What should my CO2 level be?
The normal range for CO2 is 23 to 29 mEq/L (milliequivalent units per liter of blood). The blood test often measures blood pH along with CO2 levels to further determine the cause of your symptoms.
Q. Is a CO2 level of 30 high?
Normal values in adults are 22 to 29 mmol/L or 22 to 29 mEq/L. Higher levels of carbon dioxide may mean you have: Metabolic alkalosis, or too much bicarbonate in your blood. Cushing disease.
