Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 26619133, member: 22331"]I recently was pronounced dead by a group, but survived with severe physical/mental damage, too appreciate my complete transfer to PM, but without a written will! A WARNING:"High concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) can cause rapid unconsciousness, convulsions, coma, and death, acting as a toxic asphyxiant by overwhelming the body's respiratory drive, with levels above 8% leading to unconsciousness and death within minutes, often occurring in poorly ventilated spaces like basements or due to dry ice release. Death is caused by CO2 intoxication leading to severe acidosis and respiratory depression, rather than simple lack of oxygen (hypoxia).  Effects of CO2 Exposure<ul> <li>5% (50,000 ppm): Dizziness, confusion, shortness of breath, strong respiratory stimulation. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>8% (80,000 ppm): Dimmed sight, sweating, tremors, unconsciousness, and potential death.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>10-15%: Severe muscle twitching, unconsciousness, and death within minutes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>>30%: Rapid loss of consciousness in seconds.</li> </ul>How CO2 Causes Death<ul> <li><a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&hs=R74o&sca_esv=2a7d5bf693a47990&q=Respiratory+Acidosis&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQwujsk-mRAxVW4MkDHQ7KEH4QxccNegUI1AIQAQ&mstk=AUtExfACmUcOPAtMy-fUj5Lfq6KXkdo0hlj0KsuBnYoSJoM08WwfW5ZAzn-0fQ5VuCCn7ulhBMs5t8YzYCysLWmg66SmPa4PpvIbGq9HXiGLRerZBf6M5NJdKJ--d64uxV_8Ik4&csui=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&hs=R74o&sca_esv=2a7d5bf693a47990&q=Respiratory+Acidosis&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQwujsk-mRAxVW4MkDHQ7KEH4QxccNegUI1AIQAQ&mstk=AUtExfACmUcOPAtMy-fUj5Lfq6KXkdo0hlj0KsuBnYoSJoM08WwfW5ZAzn-0fQ5VuCCn7ulhBMs5t8YzYCysLWmg66SmPa4PpvIbGq9HXiGLRerZBf6M5NJdKJ--d64uxV_8Ik4&csui=3" rel="nofollow">Respiratory Acidosis</a>: High CO2 levels create excess acid (acidosis) in the blood, interfering with nerve signals and depressing the respiratory and circulatory systems. </li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&hs=R74o&sca_esv=2a7d5bf693a47990&q=Intoxication&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQwujsk-mRAxVW4MkDHQ7KEH4QxccNegUI4AIQAQ&mstk=AUtExfACmUcOPAtMy-fUj5Lfq6KXkdo0hlj0KsuBnYoSJoM08WwfW5ZAzn-0fQ5VuCCn7ulhBMs5t8YzYCysLWmg66SmPa4PpvIbGq9HXiGLRerZBf6M5NJdKJ--d64uxV_8Ik4&csui=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&hs=R74o&sca_esv=2a7d5bf693a47990&q=Intoxication&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiQwujsk-mRAxVW4MkDHQ7KEH4QxccNegUI4AIQAQ&mstk=AUtExfACmUcOPAtMy-fUj5Lfq6KXkdo0hlj0KsuBnYoSJoM08WwfW5ZAzn-0fQ5VuCCn7ulhBMs5t8YzYCysLWmg66SmPa4PpvIbGq9HXiGLRerZBf6M5NJdKJ--d64uxV_8Ik4&csui=3" rel="nofollow">Intoxication</a>: The gas directly intoxicates the brain, causing paralysis of purposeful movement and leading to coma and death.</li> </ul> <ul> <li></li> </ul>Common Scenarios for Fatal Exposure<ul> <li>Confined Spaces: Using generators, grills, or vehicles in garages or unventilated rooms. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Dry Ice: Accidental release in sealed areas, like basements or bathrooms, during events or storage.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Industrial Settings: Accidental leaks in manufacturing or food/beverage industries.</li> </ul>Prevention<ul> <li>Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow in areas with fuel-burning appliances or dry ice.</li> <li>Detectors: Install CO (Carbon Monoxide) detectors, but note they don't detect CO2; however, CO is also lethal.</li> <li>Awareness: Never use outdoor appliances indoors; ensure gas appliances are professionally installed and vented. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Carbon dioxide poisoning: a literature review of an often forgotten cause ...
