∙ 13y agoAccording to an MSDS for carbon dioxide, the LC50 is 100,000 ppm/min. That's a 10% concentration.
Much less than that would be required if you were injecting it into someone's veins, or using it to propel a bullet.

∙ 13y agoCO2 is toxic in higher concentrations: 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy.
- If exposed at a level of 2% for several hours, minimal "acidosis" (the acid condition of the blood) may occur (cf. hyperventillation prevention).
- Breathing rate doubles at 3% CO2 and is four times the normal rate at 5% CO2.
- Toxic levels of carbon dioxide: at levels above 5%, concentration CO2 is directly toxic. [At lower levels we may be seeing effects of a reduction in the relative amount of oxygen rather than direct toxicity of CO2.]
- Symptoms of high or prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide include headache, increased heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, rapid breathing, visual and hearing dysfunctions.
- Exposure to higher levels may cause unconsciousness or death within minutes of exposure.
- Concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour.

If the question refers to the fatal future effects of climate change caused by increased atmospheric CO2, the answer is roughly 4000 tonnes CO2. According to one paper, burning 1000 tonnes of fossil carbon causes the premature death of one future person. That's assuming that humanity will burn a trillion tons of carbon altogether. The global mean surface temperature will then increase by 2°C, and there will be a billion premature deaths as a result. It's only a very rough estimate (order of magnitude), but it has enormous ethical and political consequences.

How much percent of carbon dioxide have in Sprite?
Sprite has 6% of carbon dioxide
How much carbon dioxide is in sprite?
5%
How much more carbon dioxide is there than oxygen?
There is 21% oxygen in the atmosphere and 300 ppm (0.03%) carbon dioxide. This translated to 700 times more oxygen than carbon dioxide.
What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?
Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.
How much carbon dioxide is formed when 24.0g of carbon is reacted with 100.0g of oxygen?
24.0 g of carbon reacts with 64.0 g of oxygen to form 88 g of carbon dioxide.
The benefits of using carbon dioxide detectors?
To check if there is too much carbon dioxide in a given area because it can kill you
How much carbon dioxide does it take to kill somebody?
Carbon dioxide is toxic at levels of 5% and fatal at around 10%. If you may be contemplating suicide please call 1-800-273-8255.
What is part of a person carbon footprint?
Chemically, it is how much CH4 they cause to be burnt into CO2.
How much percent of carbon dioxide have in Sprite?
Sprite has 6% of carbon dioxide
What happens when a person takes in too much carbon dioxide?
they could suffcate and potentional die.
What happens if carbon dioxide content in a room increases?
Too much carbon dioxide will kill any animal or human. We need oxygen to live. As the levels rise, the need for air increases and a person will begin to breathe harder and deeper. If the levels get even higher, they will try to get out of the room or become unconscious.
Would waste materials such as carbon dioxide be removed from the person's body more quickly when he is running?
In the case of carbon dioxide, the person who is running is breathing is having to breathe much more often. Of course, this is important since the runner is making more carbon dioxide as a by product of using ATP for energy to run.
How much carbon dioxide is in root beer?
6 percent of root beer is carbon dioxide
How much carbon dixiode does an airplane produce?
every 2,062 miles travelled accounts for 1 ton of Carbon Dioxide emissions per person.
How much carbon dioxide will be produced when one kilo of pure carbon burned?
C + O2 -------> CO2 12g of carbon produces 44g of carbon dioxide 1kg of carbon will produce 3-67kg of carbon dioxide
How much carbon dioxide is in sprite?
5%
Is this how you spell carbon dioxcide?
Close, but no, that is not correct.The correct spelling is carbon dioxide.Some example sentences are:Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.There is too much carbon dioxide in these air tanks.Carbon dioxide is one of the gasses in the atmosphere.
