The video title says carbon dioxide, CO2. It's not the same as carbon monoxide, CO. Carbon dioxide can also get dangerous if it replaces the oxygen in the room, but carbon monoxide poisoning is a completely different thing.

the problem with PSA's like this is that they expect you to be around medical personell. what the hell do you do if you in the middle of the deser t on a trip, or in a plane crash waiting for rescue, or what if shit hits the fan and civilization breaks down? other than get in a O2 rich enviroment, theres nothing you can do as far as im aware though.

Like I always used to tell my husband about wilderness first aid is 1) Plan for what could happen and 2) take a wilderness first aid kit with you that includes what you'll need for that emergency. Which he barely even listened to anyway. He used to tease me when I'd do our family fire drills twice a year, said "None of us is likely to die in a fire." And he's the one who actually DID die in one, but not bc he was unprepared.
Anyway I can see no possible cause for getting CO poisoning in the middle of a desert.
My friend who had a Ph.D in Organic Chemistry said it's bc oxygen is lighter than carbon monoxide and that's why it doesn't let you get oxygen into the lungs. He didn't say anything about bondings.

Love how people confuse Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. No one likes misinformation, and also the people who spread it. Here's something you should read, and post, about:

Life Tips: How being more self-conscious can help you achieve success.

It would be a good subject, for you and the people who missed this simple, but negatively impactful, mistake.
Seriously though, if you can count your fingers, then you can tell the difference, and, I mean, it's not like you had 10 years to change it...

@hyperbaricchicken101 its the bends, its when you come up to fast from a dive, and the nitrogen in your bloodstream, which gets compressed when you go diveing, expands when you start to surface, if you surface to fast the nitrogen expands fast enough to force its way into bones, organs, cells, and possibly out fot the body itself (atomic levels) a few molecules doing this isnt lethal, but when they form large bubbles they can do serious damage and are almost always fatal without treatment.

Unfortunately the speaker in this video is addressing Carbon Monoxide poisoning (ie car exhaust) vs Dioxide... (our exhaust) but it works the same.

carbon dioxide is in coke soda and all soda and carbon water. So, why is the gov allowing this poisoning of the people?

[pokemonpro-ppvc]

It's carbon monoxide Not carbon dioxide but carbon dioxide can kill too if you breathe in it

[NancyDBeam]

Give them helium, not much. it's almost like smelling salts

I hope that expert Bruni wasn’t the one responsible for posting this to YouTube. I would think that an expert would know the difference between carbon monoxide poisoning and carbon dioxide poisoning. Your video title mentioned surviving carbon dioxide poisoning. I don’t see where anyone picked up on this. There is a major difference between the two. Both of them are real. The dude in the video explains about carbon monoxide poisoning. And the title says carbon dioxide poisoning. Clearly the poster is wrong. And, it wasn’t just a mistake either, because you see that same mistake repeated in the description. So, now that we have established that it is not a mistake but a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge automatically demotes you from an expert to more of a video content creator. And, I would say, not a great one in my opinion. If that agency hired you as an expert, especially with tax dollar money, I think they better find another person Who is an expert and not a reporter. Because, this comes off as professional advice and could make the difference between living or dying. And the difference between a bad staff pick and a lawsuit. Just my two cents. But, great content nonetheless.

Carbon monoxide is carbon dioxide. The name is changed for the purpose of the way the gov allowing this poisoning to be used. Like on coke soda it is call carbon dioxide rather the carbon monoxide it is the same posion gas push on the market to make soda sale and carbon water sale it is all about the money. Carbon dioxide carbon monoxide = The same posion gas!
