The Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries‚ mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks‚ drugs‚ disinfectants‚ pottery‚ and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially
