Carbon emissions have several direct and indirect effects on human health:
Respiratory issues: Elevated levels of CO2 can exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Carbon monoxide poisoning: High levels of CO can lead to poisoning, characterized by symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and even death in severe cases. Climate change: The accumulation of greenhouse gases leads to global warming, which has numerous health impacts, including heat stress, vector-borne diseases, and extreme weather events.
