The Body's Hidden Alarm: Rising CO2 Leaves an Indelible Mark on Human Blood A study published by the Kids Research Institute Australia has shed light on a crucial aspect of climate change's impact on human biology.
Researchers have detected a 7% increase in blood bicarbonate levels since 1999, accompanied by declines in calcium and phosphorus, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise.
The study's temporal scope is noteworthy: by analyzing two decades' worth of U. S. health data, scientists identified a consistent pattern – as CO2 levels increase, so do bicarbonate levels in the blood.
