  Carbon dioxide - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas which, when inhaled at high concentrations (a dangerous activity because of the associated asphyxiation risk), produces a sour taste in the mouth and a stinging sensation in the nose and throat.
Acute carbon dioxide toxicity is sometimes known as choke damp, an old mining industry term, and was the cause of death at Lake Nyos in Cameroon, where an upwelling of CO -laden lake water in 1986 covered a wide area in a blanket of the gas, killing nearly 2000.
The decreased binding to oxygen in the blood due to increased carbon dioxide levels is known as the Haldane Effect, and is important in the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.

 Carbon dioxide
Atmospheric carbon dioxide derives from multiple natural sources including volcanic outgassing, the combustion of organic matter, and the respiration processes of living aerobic organisms; man-made sources of carbon dioxide come mainly from the burning of various fossil fuels for heating, power generation and transport use.
Carbon dioxide may be obtained from air distillation, however this yields only relatively small quantities of CO A large variety of chemical reactions yield carbon dioxide, such as the reaction between most acids and most metal carbonates.
Carbon dioxide is an end product in organisms that obtain energy from breaking down sugars, fats and amino acids with oxygen as part of their metabolism, in a process known as cellular respiration.

 Oyama's hypothesis, about the active nature of the Martian soil
In an effort to explain the puzzling results obtained by the Viking biology experiments, astrobiologist Vance Oyama began by assuming that intense solar ultraviolet radiation breaks down, by photodissociation, carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Martian atmosphere into activated carbon monoxide (CO) and single atoms of oxygen (O).
The carbon monoxide is further broken down into its constituents, carbon and oxygen.
The presence of this polymer in the Martian soil, together with the use of radioactive carbon-14 as a labeler, are the keys to understanding the curious results of the Viking pyrolytic release (PR) experiment, claimed Oyama.

 Carbon Suboxide, a Highly Reactive Intermediate from the Abiotic Degradation of Aromatic Compounds in Soil
In this context, the present work investigates the natural formation of carbon suboxide using the model compounds catechol and 3,5-dichlorocatechol and also a soil sample from a peat bog.
We also found that the formation of carbon suboxide requires a definite activation energy and that it is rather short-lived in the natural environment.
Experimental parameters for the highest yield of carbon suboxide depend on the precise molecular structure of the model compound or on the individual soil sample, respectively.
