Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally inEarth's atmosphere as a trace gas. The current concentration is about 0.04% (410 ppm) by volume, having risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm. Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and it is freed from carbonate rocks bydissolution in water and acids. Because carbon dioxide is soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers and lakes, ice caps, glaciers and seawater. It is present in deposits of petroleum and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is odorless at normally encountered concentrations. However, at high concentrations, it has a sharp and acidic odor.As the source of available carbon in thecarbon cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is the primary carbon source for life on Earthand its concentration in Earth's pre-industrial atmosphere since late in the Precambrian has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological phenomena. Plants, algae andcyanobacteria use light energy tophotosynthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen produced as a waste product.[6]
CO2 is produced by all aerobic organismswhen they metabolize carbohydrates and lipids to produce energy by respiration.[7] It is returned to water via the gills of fish and to the air via the lungs of air-breathing land animals, including humans. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and wine making. It is produced by combustion of wood and other organic materials and fossil fuels such ascoal, peat, petroleum and natural gas. It is an unwanted byproduct in many large scaleoxidation processes, for example, in the production of acrylic acid (over 5 million tons/year).[8][9][10][11]
It is a versatile industrial material, used, for example, as an inert gas in welding and fire extinguishers, as a pressurizing gas in air guns and oil recovery, as a chemical feedstock and as a supercritical fluid solvent in decaffeination of coffee[12] andsupercritical drying. It is added to drinking water and carbonated beverages includingbeer and sparkling wine to add effervescence. The frozen solid form of CO2, known as dry iceis used as a refrigerant and as an abrasive indry-ice blasting.
Carbon dioxide is the most significant long-lived greenhouse gas in Earth's atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution anthropogenic emissions – primarily from use of fossil fuels and deforestation – have rapidly increased its concentration in the atmosphere, leading toglobal warming. Carbon dioxide also causesocean acidification because it dissolves in water to form carbonic acid

Carbon dioxide is colorless. At low concentrations the gas is odorless; however, at sufficiently-high concentrations, it has a sharp, acidic odor. At standard temperature and pressure, the density of carbon dioxide is around 1.98 kg/m3, about 1.67 times that of air.
