Summary Here, we review the scientific literature and other documents which pertain to the effects of inhalation exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) upon human health. Recent studies have reported linear physiological changes in circulatory, cardiovascular, and autonomic systems at CO2 exposures ranging between 500 and 5,000 ppm; these effects are very evident. Recent experimental studies … Read more
