Are you sure I should get this? I don't man, how do I know I want 50% off or not this makes me question to much.
Not quite, carbonic acid can and will kill you through metabolic acidosis and it is in equilibrium with the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. You can and will absolutely die in an enclosed space at 1 atm where the concentration of carbon dioxide rose to 40,000-50,000 ppm despite the fact that the work your lungs need to do to get Oxygen in depends on the partial pressure of Oxygen and the air still has a ppO2 equal to that of an airline cabin. The problem is that your inability to get rid of carbon dioxide and thus carbonic acid has now lowered your blood pH to the point that many processes are not working normal and enzymes all over your body are starting to deform and denature which in turn means other waste products of normal metabolism are not being processed correctly either so those are also building up. Suffice to say one will not be having the best time as everything starts shutting down because the biologicall machinery of life ie the enzymes are all being damaged by the inhospitable environment.
Acute carbon monoxide poisoning feels a lot like standing up too fast. Not at all painful, not in any way frightening. Plus you get the healthest skin color you've ever had!
😅
Straight fact
This is good to know for when I kill myself here soon!
Thank u I will do this today
Damn thx bro 👍
Don't you hate it when you're trying to have a nap and there's an alarm blaring in the background?
I just had to smash my carbon monoxide alarm to bits, it was giving me a bloody headache.
Same here that stupid alarm trying to save my life, I had to light it on fire.
Have 20+ cigarettes in a closed space. Should help with the headache.
Same thing happened to me 2021 winter. That shit scared the shit out of me.
It was at my grandfather's cottage in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night. I was trying to sleep. My parents were already sleeping by this point because they were heavily intoxicated. My grandfather was not present, he was in France. (I live in Finland)
Before the event, we were trying to warm up the house. It was -10°C inside because no one visited the cottage for the entire winter. The cottage had no other means of heating other than four helpless thermostats that barely did anything and a fireplace, which provided the most heating. Because it was winter, the insides of the chimney were blocked by frost. We found this out the hard way, the smoke of the fire got inside the building, but we put the fire out quite fast. We also immediately opened all windows and doors, but also lost some warmth in the progress. We ended up finding some specialized hairdryer-looking contraption my grandfather had bought exactly for this, to warm up the chimney. After about 5-6 hours of coldness, we started to have some warmth. I took a nap to skip the time. I woke up when we had plenty of warmth in the building, maybe a bit too much, since I was curled up in my outdoor winter clothing.
So, I almost fell asleep, but then I hear this loud, obnoxious beeping. I had no idea where it was from, but it didn't take long to figure out it was from a carbon monoxide alarm. If I recall correctly, the alarm showed a reading of 300+ PPM, which I had thought was insane, given that I hadn't felt any symptoms for the entire duration of the ordeal, which was like 5-10 minutes (A year later, I still haven't experienced any visible symptoms related to the incident.). I had no idea how the thing worked. So I got up, quickly turned on the lights, and googled for a manual for the alarm. It took me about 4-5 minutes of googling, but I found a way to turn it off.
Having the scariness of carbon monoxide in mind, I decided to try and wake up my parents. They would wake up, but getting them out of bed was no dice. As they were intoxicated, they weren't aware of the situation and went back to sleep.
I was a bit scared at this point, so I decided to go outside. At the time, it was 2-3 AM, so calling anyone wasn't an option. I didn't want to call the emergency number either, in case it was just a false alarm, so I decided to sit outside for a couple of hours at -5°C to -10°C, for about 2 hours, whilst sometimes going inside to warm back up. At around 5 AM, I called my grandmother (who we were originally visiting, we were visiting the grandfather's cottage because it was a short trip from there.) to inform her of the incident. She told me to leave the doors open and criticized my parents (rightfully so). I then opened the doors for the possible carbon monoxide to hopefully leave the house. It was only three hours later (8 AM) that my parents woke up and realized what had happened. They didn't really even react to it, acting as if I was overreacting or something. As if it was some minor inconvenience. Well, hell yeah it was, I didn't get to sleep, and I was left alone in the situation scared for 4-5 hours with no help or reassurance that everything was okay.
I still don't know if it was a high presence of carbon monoxide or no presence at all. Guess the only thing that'll tell is time.
@@illzzu Honestly I'd trust the alarm, people experience symptoms at different rates and some can have a surprisingly delayed reaction. This is further complicated by the fact the initial onset of symptoms are very much vague and non specific. We are talking about things like lethargy, maybe a very mild headache and such, the sort of things that far from being specific signs of any particular problem are entirely normal. Early symptoms feel a lot like you are mildly tired and have been focused on something for a little too long at most. This is one of the reasons it is such a major killer, the instinctive response to the early symptoms if you notice them at all is to be like yawn maybe I should hit the sack, then after hours of exposure simply not awaken again.
In your case sounds like you got lucky but I'd never recommend ignoring an alert from a carbon monoxide alarm even if you feel well. Always evacuate all persons immediately and always call the emergency services. We have these technologies precisely because carbon monoxide is a life threatening danger our senses can not reliably detect. Also we have publicly funded emergency services because they should be available to all in any potential emergency, if in doubt call them. Granted there is one developed country conspicuously lacking in the basic set of emergency services enjoyed by even most of the third world so I can't help but think this is something that happened in the US. I've heard so many accounts of people being afraid to do the sensible thing and err on the side of caution because the basic rights to emergency assistance that are guaranteed basically everywhere else are denied in the US.
@@happyduck1424dude?
My family and I once came down with CO poisoning. We went to the hospital and all got oxygen masks. We had to sit there for several hours with the masks on before they would release us. We all felt headachey/dizzy/drowsy before, and my dad was vomiting. After several hours most of that went away, but my headache stayed with me for the rest of the day. I'm glad we're all still here.
Just lost my brother to this at 3:30am today...he was found in his car, windows rolled up & engine running. He smokes and always went outside to his car to smoke. RIP my brother.
Sorry for your loss. Was he inside a closed garage or was there a leak at the exhaust?
@@dailybikes668 outside...they think it was a leak.
Ditto, except my father found his first born son in his garage approximately six days after my brother was successful after three prior attempts. The responding officials literally had to break his body up during the removal from the vehicle which was then autopsied and the car was crushed.
@@walcoman Sorry to hear about that, it's heartbreaking.
If you haven’t already, hire a personal injury lawyer. This is a clear cut strict liability case
me and my family almost died of monoxide poisoning because our old oven was leaking it out, I remember feeling extremely exhausted, sick and confused for a few days up until i passed out in the middle of the kitchen one day after taking my medicine- after I woke up I found that me and my entire family were in the hospital
shits scary asf it can take you out without you knowing
Who found you?
@@ricksantiago-ib8rgthis was my question too.
You didn't throw up or had migraine?
I now know how I’m going to end this pain, once and for all
Please don’t. You are needed, you are loved God bless ❤
No it's too slow
do a flip
I once went to have a bath and woke up in the hospital on respiratory support where i was told that I had nearly died of CO poisoning.
And what i experienced in between was kinda surreal dream, which could be described only as dimly lit green room interview. In it, there was me and somebody else, whom I definitely knew but I don't remember who he/she was (felt like distant relative or someone who maybe even died when I was very young) and we talked about something. Only thing from this interview that I can recall was this individual telling me to go back and then I woke up.
I wonder if this is perhaps your own brain trying to save itself or just dreamlike experince of nerve cells starved of oxygen they so desperately need. Prolly the latter but who can tell for certain...
You might be interested to know that NDE's or near death experiences are actually studied as a scientific field because of how frequently it is reported to occur, and because it cannot and has not been able to be dismissed as natural causes alone. That is not to say that your situation was an NDE. There are differences between an NDE verses a hallucination but I would not presume just based on the story alone to know which one.
@@keithmayhewhammond5357 Ye, it's really hard to tell if it was just "anoxic high" or something else. Until science can exactly tell what is happening with neurons in given moment, we will never really know.
Thank god you are here. How old were u when this happened?
@@Dulex123 I was 14 at the time. Somehow the memory is till this fairly clear despite this happening more than 25 yrs ago
@@thamirivonjaahri6378Look up near death experiences.
The idea is that your soul actually left your body and you were talking to another relative who has also passed. The reason you remember it so clearly is that your soul has a perfect memory unlike the human brain.
instruction unclear failed to die
I'm a med student and I watched this video casually out of morbid curiosity. I was doing a MCQ on a test recently that asked what the mechanism of carbon monoxide poisoning was and I only knew the answer because of this video. So this video both entertained and educated in positive ways! Thanks!
I completely understand the choice of rebrand, but I think your identity should never be entirely defined on the content you make. Your more morbid content is more popular - great! But you made 400 thousand subscribers being your original and unique channel - yourself. To most of your subscribers, you're the smart stick figure guy who does interesting videos.
I don't have any complaints, I just hope you still keep being you and I love you.
Dark Science is the best brand name for this channel... It's short , informative and strong... Just an opinion...
Remind me of the previous name of this channel, please
@@drasiella Hiya, the previous name was "Questions for Science". My main reason for that comment was that I enjoyed all the types of videos made by our guy here, but if a rebrand was important to what he was actually getting views for then I suppose it's for the best. (Yes, my opinion has changed over the past month, lol.)
@@superhands290people like dark things
I remember getting this when I was preparing an old sauna and inhaled bunch of wood smoke. Felt very strong headache and a feeling like Im gonna vomit at any moment. It lasted pretty long for like 5+ hours before all symptoms wear off.
Did you remain conscious?
can’t wait to try
At first I was afraid that the image change was also associated with pseudoscience or so.. But this video is totally great, educational and clear. Thanks for the video!
I had CO poisoning once. They had diesel heaters in the building to prevent the pipes from freezing. I was in the office and started getting incredibly sick then found out about the heaters so i stood outside inn the freezing rain for fresh air
Excellent video! Liked/Subscribed
Idk why but I’m addicted to ur vids
Thanks for the information that is what I needed
💀💀 well not surprised am also thinking about doing it with nitrogen exit mask
Man, I clicked hoping that this would be a tutorial but they didn't even tell us the steps.
Excellent video!
Out of curiosity, when you say that carbon monoxide has no smell or taste, does it just mean that humans can't notice it, or that it's a general property and e.g. dogs can't taste it either?
Not sure about other species, but we lack the taste and smell receptors to notice it
Cancer or anxiety are considered smelless but dogs are trained to detect it with smell.
The easiest way to go in my opinion. Play your favorites music. Takes some weed and some pain killers and turn on the exhaust in a garage. With your favorite coffee and snacks and maybe a movie, and with stuffed animals. Sounds like the easiest off but not the most painless way to go. Don’t know yet the cheapest and least painful way to go. I mean I think I know but I’m not able to purchase any kind of firearm.
@@KunaevNS but is it painless to go this way? Having it painless would be something I’d like to achieve.
@@KunaevNS thanks for the detailed explanation.
I enjoy that you took the time to comment so sincerely about this and do appreciate it,
At this moment I really don’t have money to purchase anything right now but maybe in the future when I’m more alone.
So thank you.
Painless death is what I kinda fantasize about most days.
But my heart is having a lot of issues this month been waking up to a racing heart, thanks to stress so I may go naturally which would be better price wise and not put anyone else in risk of harm which is also good.
Hope you have a good one mentally.
I don't have a car so maybe ill just burn coal in an enclosed room and inhale all of it

@@uchiha6620 any suggestions on how to dispose of ur belongings? I don't have anyone to give it to and i dont want it to b just lying around
I get what you were trying to say but CO2 is 'toxic', everything is -it is a matter of dosage/exposure and not an absolute category.
"dose makes the poison"
That's not what toxic means. Think of it like this: A non-toxic compound like CO2 is harmless up to a certain level. Carbon monoxide is always harmful, regardless of dosage, which is why it's toxic. It's effect are just only noticable at certain levels.
@@ngltbhimo Dude, I have a science background but looked it up anyway -and that is exactly what toxic means...
EVERYTHING is "non-toxic up to a certain level" and which point it reaches a 'toxic' concentration.
The idea that a substance can be inherently toxic is product of the media and bad science education/communication.
Also your personal definition has holes like: how do you know CO is "always harmful"?
Since if: "It's effect are just only noticable at certain levels"?
Why are the effects that you can't notice automatically harmful?
@@LENZ5369 Do you have a source on that? I'm genuinely curious. I need to make a correction on what I said earlier, it's not completely correct. You are right when you say that the dosage is key, but not right in saying that CO2 is toxic, because at high enough concentrations it's harmful. Dosage defines toxicity. CO2 is non-toxic because of the high levels requires for it to be harmful, as opposed to CO. If "everything is toxic at certain levels" than that makes the term, "toxic substance" essentially meaningless. (I've only had low-level education in science and glean much lf what I know from seeing things online, this is just how I understand it)
Edit: Just because you can't feel symptoms, it doesn't mean you aren't being harmed. (E.g cancer)
@@ngltbhimo What do you want a source for?
Seems you are still misunderstanding: "non-toxic" or "toxic" substances don't 'exist' in science -it's a 'practical' creation of pop culture, gov and media; they are shorthand, humancentric 'public safety' categories; not scientific ones.
It's like how people call a tomato; a vegetable.
And how chocolate is toxic to dogs in very small amounts, yet it is not called 'toxic' in pop culture because it would take magnitudes more to cause toxicity in humans.
In science: "Toxic" is a relative and essentially subject specific term; however similar to how the speed of light changes depending on medium yet is colloquially always referred to as C or how the boiling temp of water changes depending altitude/pressure yet is colloquially always referred to as 100C, substances that most humans have low tolerances for -are colloquially referred to as "toxic".
@@LENZ5369 Interesting, I guess I need to research more on the topic. Thanks for explaining to me 🤝
Edit: It seems to be extremely difficult to find clear explainations or definitions of the word "toxic" as it refers to substances. That's the source I'm interested in
I love your stuff and wish you the best in your rebranding
Love the content. Just discovered your channel. Subscribed.

Thank you.
I've been pretty interested in the subject recently, what a coincidence you making a video about it.
Greetings from Colombia 👍
Hi, please stay safe.
Very well explained, thanks!
when I was a little kid I was at my great grandma's house and something block the furnace and I almost died from Carbon monoxide poisoning everyone was fine but it was pretty scary
Great video indeed !
Great video.
Not just because it's dark. I never understood the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Except for the oxygen part of course.
Thank you ^^
I like the sponsor that invites you to experiment while the topic of the video is carbon monoxide poisoning
I’m glad I’m not the only one who found the irony in that lol
Looking at the comments some people are looking forward to experimenting the latter
Thanks
Love the rebrand, thanks for the dark (but in this case, invisible + deadly) content!
Thanks!
So do you feel any suffocation or struggle hrough the process? In case uou regretted half way thru..
Well, now it makes sense why i feel lightheaded after smoking 1 cigarette
Oh didn't know about the rename. This'll be interesting
this video helped me curb my smoking from 40 cigarettes per day to about 4 cigarettes per day.
i mean, i got fired over some b.s. so im back up to 40 but still, it helps.

If do blood transfusions, will it help?
It is a great way to pass away. I've tried three times but all of my attempts have failed. I put a plastic cover over my wagon but I burnt a hole in the cover as I revving the engine a bit as I was passing out. Both my dogs and I just completely relaxed and shut down. So I didn't die but I know what it's like and it is a very pleasant way to go
How long until u passed out?
@@Scythe_Voltage I think it was like 10 minutes or less. No headache or coughing. I tried my best to stay alert and awake. Dogs were breathing faster so both were asleep way before me

Rebrand, I like. It is really humbling just how fragile we all are.
went to the hospital the october 15 2020 for CO poisoning, i remember being under 70% SpO2 when the paramedics picked me up, i cheated death by a matter of minutes
i remember that it wasn't that bad, just feeling very stressed but that wasn't liked with the poisoning or at least not *directly*, you just feel lightheaded and tired, like when you've been hungry for a bit
2:27 No, CO2 is definitely toxic; it's just less-so than CO.
Isn't it that 12800 ppm equals 1.28% of air (12800 / 1000000 = 0.0128) ?
Be patient
4:07 looks like a factor 100 got lost there
Does anybody know where to get a step by step guide on how to do this without a garage?
Use a tube connected between the pipe and the window car, put something to cover the zone around the tube stuck in the window so nothing will go outside. You create an air circle system.
Watched this to see how much CO2 it takes to ctb, so around 30-45 min probably in a large garage it would seem
this happen to a neighbors girlfriend. They were chilling in the car in the garage and she said she was going to stay a little longer, she ended up falling asleep and they found her the next morning

What happens to carbon monoxide in bloodstream after unbinding?
If the information about carbon monoxide is correct , that it can be dissolved in the water under the temperature are und 20 Celsius. We can set the path of carbon monoxide gas go through water with the right temperature. Then we take that water and separate carbon from water. Then we could recycle that carbon for the industial? . That seems to be quite very much possible.

Dark science, I think there are ways to improve your videos.
I’m not saying it’s bad but I think it can make some improvements.
Here are my opinions!
First the thumbnail and the topic you picked is intriguing and I think it’s great so keep it up 👍
But second, I think that the narrative throughout the video feels kind of off.
It sounds like your reading with little emotion. I think the purpose of the video is to explain and convince the viewers about your ideas. But you have to get their attention first right? Maybe you can add some stuff to make it more interesting. Third is I really like the editing and the images of the different molecules. You explained it very clearly so that’s nice.
Im just a person who watches too much RUclips.
Would 3 disposable bbqs in a small inclosed space produce allot of carbon monoxide?
This world sucks. Long overdue for me
Can someone explain how that unit works parts per million? 6:16 Ty in advance
ppm means parts per million. For every 1 million 'parts' of a mixture or solution there's so many of another foreign/unwanted substance in it. For example, there's roughly 600 carbon dioxide molecules in the air per 1 million oxygen molecules in the air, so the measurement would be 600 ppm of carbon dioxide.

So in the video you said people can be put in an oxygen chamber and they breath almost pure oxygen, that made me wonder, is it bad to breath pure oxygen? Is there things wrong with it?
Yes, pure oxygen is toxic
@@darkscienceyt thanks for telling me! That's crazy I didn't know that, something we need on the daily to live can be toxic how crazy
Oxygen is in the same chemical family as fluorine and chlorine, and is what nearly ended life on earth a couple billion years ago. It's actually really corrosive, and is what causes metals to rust, and flammables to burn.
It just so happened that life found a way to use that burning process to support biological processes.
