Breakthrough Method Detects CO2-Derived Oxidant in Human Cells

Recent research from the University of São Paulo reveals a groundbreaking method for detecting peroxymonocarbonate, a significant biological oxidant derived from carbon dioxide (CO2) in human cells. This study highlights the physiological effects of elevated CO2 levels, particularly in urban environments, and emphasizes the urgent need to understand CO2 toxicity mechanisms and their implications for human health.
