Rising CO2 Could Be Shifting Human Blood Chemistry, Study Finds

A 20-year analysis of NHANES data (about 7,000 people) shows blood bicarbonate rising about 7% as atmospheric CO2 climbs from ~369 ppm to over 420 ppm, with calcium and phosphorus dipping, suggesting the body may be adapting to higher CO2; the study notes correlation, not causation, but warns of potential population-level health implications and recommends monitoring CO2 alongside biomarkers as climate policy considerations evolve.

Rising CO2 Tied to Subtle Shifts in Human Blood Chemistry

A NHANES-based study (1999–2020) finds rising atmospheric CO2 correlates with higher blood bicarbonate and opposite trends in calcium and phosphorus; although changes are small now, models suggest ongoing CO2 increases could push some blood chemistry values toward the limits of healthy ranges in the future, with bicarbonate potentially serving as a biomarker for CO2 exposure.
