CO2

New page

* [[Carbon Dioxide]] there is a surprising amount of misinformation about [[CO2]]. It does not cause [[asphyxiation]], it is actually toxic. Asphyxiation is caused by lack of oxygen in the ambient air being inhaled. But even if there is ample oxygen in the air, a high concentration of CO2 is still [[toxic]]. This is because it reduces the ability of [[hemoglobin]] in [[red blood cell]]s to carry [[oxygen]]. On the [[Apollo 13]] lunar mission the crew had to modify CO2 filters from the [[Command Module]] to operate in the [[Lunar Module]]. The filters used [[Lithium Hydroxide]] ([[LiOH]]) to remove the exhaled CO2 from the ambient air.
