   Well, at high enough concentrations, CO2 can be  toxic.  But the 3% CO2 
level you cite is 30,000 ppm whereas merely 100  ppm of CO can have serious 
health effects.
So don't open too many cans of soda at one time in a small closed  room!!<GGG>
    But seriously, we should all have a CO detector  present when we're 
driving our Corvairs with the windows closed.

CO2 is  in fact, VERY toxic. At 5%, it's almost immediately deadly. At 3%, 
breathing  rate goes so high, one could have cardiac arrest, etc. The human body 
 doesn't know when it's out of oxygen, only when there's too much CO2, and it 
 will go to extreme measures to get rid of it, even if the atmosphere has too 
 much in it.
