But the damage doesn't end there because increased concentrations of carbon dioxide shift the volatile chemical equilibrium with bicarbonate and carbonate (CO32-) ions, which decreases pH.

Bicarbonate is a form of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas waste left when your body burns food for energy. Bicarbonate belongs to a group of electrolytes, which help keep your body hydrated and make ...

During the past two years we have successfully reversed an apparently declivitous course in 6 patients with refractory bronchial asthma by correcting respiratory acidosis with sodium bicarbonate ...
