Carbon dioxide overload detected in human blood suggests a potentially toxic atmosphere within 50 years
Summary
The open-access article analyzes NHANES data (1999–2020) to assess whether rising atmospheric CO2 correlates with changes in blood biochemistry, notably serum bicarbonate, calcium, and phosphorus. It finds rising bicarbonate concurrent with CO2 increases and declining calcium and phosphorus, projecting potential unhealthy blood levels within decades and calling for CO2 emission reductions to safeguard public health.
