Right, I should have specified that I was attempting to say deaths/serious poisonings are not that common due to our bodies being built to expel the c02.

I personally have an air quality sensor next to my desk right now because mystery migraines after a move turned out to be c02.

Only happened when my doors+windows were shut and heat turned on.

C02 is deadly as well. It's normally a trace gas, a 400ppm baseline translates to .04% of air. Pipes of c02 can be very hazardous.

Main thing about c02 is that because our bodies exhale it, we are wired to detect c02. Sort of, it does not stink like a smell.

This makes it a lot more rare to be poisoned by than other gasses, but it still happens.
