I'm looking for some help understanding if CO2 poisoning is immediate or if there are other factors at play. I'm trying to understand how quickly CO2 poisoning can affect someone and if it's something that can happen in an instant or if it's something that takes time. Can anyone help me out and explain how CO2 poisoning works? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

CO2 Poisoning: An Overview

What is CO2 Poisoning?

CO2 poisoning, also known as carbon dioxide poisoning, occurs when an individual is exposed to high levels of the gas. It can occur when an individual breathes in air that contains more than 5% CO2. At this level, it can cause dizziness, confusion, headaches, nausea, and impaired vision. In extreme cases, it can lead to coma and death.

What Are the Symptoms of CO2 Poisoning?

Some of the most common symptoms of CO2 poisoning include:

-Headache

-Dizziness

-Nausea

-Confusion

-Impaired vision

-Shortness of breath

Is CO2 Poisoning Immediate?

The effects of CO2 poisoning can be immediate or delayed depending on the severity of the exposure and the duration of the exposure. In mild cases, the symptoms may appear immediately and can last for several hours. In more severe cases, the symptoms may manifest after a few days or weeks. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect that you have been exposed to high levels of CO2.
