Humankind Did Not Live with a High-Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere Until 1965
- gumby 7y agoWonder what the physiological effects are? I notice very clearly the change in PPO (Partial Pressure of Oxygen) when running at 3000 M vs sea level
- pojzon 7y agoEven medium levels of CO2 can influence our cognitive capabilities. And it gets worse the higher it gets.
- bsaul 7y agoisn’t the difficulty of doing physical exercice in altitude mostly due to oxygen depletion rather than co2 ? i know it is recommended not to sleep in a room full of plants ( because they emit co2 during the night), but i must say i have no ideas what the scale is
- gumby 7y agoIndeed, that's why I mentioned the PPO (partial pressure of oxygen, autocorrected into the confusing "PPA" -- just edited my comment) which decreases at altitude. I was wondering if the CO2 level reduced the amount of available O2 to any physiological meaningful degree.
- gus_massa 7y agoThe CO2 emission of a person/animal is more than the CO2 emission of the same weight of plants. If you are not afraid of sleeping with one [1] person of 150lb, you should not be afraid of sleeping with 150lb of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epipremnum_aureum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epipremnum_aureum or whatever interior plant is usual in your neighborhood. [1] or more in a shared place like a university/military dormitory.
- nabla9 7y agoHigh CO2 levels reduce the nutritional quality of plants. They grow better but are less nutritious. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/06/19/616098095/as-carbon-dioxide-levels-rise-major-crops-are-losing-nutrients?t=1569499735100 https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/06/19/616098095/as...
