I'm curious about how much CO2 I'm actually breathing out with every breath I take. Does anyone have any information on this? I heard it's a lot more than we realize, but I'd like to know how much exactly.

CO2 Outputs per Breath
The average person at rest exhales approximately 0.3 to 0.4 liters of air per breath. This air contains around 0.2 to 0.3 liters of carbon dioxide (CO2). This means that a resting person will produce between 0.06 and 0.12 grams of CO2 per breath.
Factors That Affect CO2 Outputs
There are a number of factors that can affect the amount of CO2 a person exhales with each breath. These include the rate of respiration, the amount of oxygen being taken in, the level of physical activity, and the amount of metabolic activity taking place in the body.
Effects of CO2 on Health
Excessive concentrations of CO2 can be dangerous to human health. Inhaling too much CO2 can lead to headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath. In some cases, it can also cause loss of consciousness. It is important to ensure that you are not inhaling too much CO2.
