The fact that you use CO2 at your site will not do anything to your health lung wise (unless a bottle explodes and takes your torso with it).

The only danger to you lungs by using the gas around you is that if the air gets so much CO2 in it that your bronchioles (lungs) can't absorb enough oxygen into your blood stream.

If you're filling bottles, then no CO2 should escape anyway, and when you're firing your markers, so little CO2 comes out, it couldn't possibly affect your lungs anyway.

To be honest, i doubt it's even possible to drown yourself in CO2 if you're outside, because the CO2 has a different density to air (which is mostly nitrogen) and therefore, it will sink to the ground, and disperse.

I can't be bothered to re-read this, so it probably makes no sense, if you've got any other questions though, just msn me.

Don't worry about it. We are all being lied to anyway. 98% of all greenhouse gas(s) is naturally occurring water vapour. Only 0.03% of greenhouse gases is C02 and while this has increased by 30% in the last 275 years it is not the problem we are all being told it is. It comes down to simple economics YOU are more likely to pay and big business...so there to have it.
I do agree we should all cut our pollution etc and would like to see our dependency on oil reduced I just don't like is being lied too. Some of the best minds in the world are now saying it's not quite the problem we are all informed it is but they get very little coverage in the media.
If C02 and car pollution is this great devil we keep being told it is, then why are the government not pushing the use of E85 at petrol stations. The 85% Alcohol content will only ever put out the same amount of C02 it takes in as a sugar crop and whilst this does not reduce the amount in our atmosphere it doesn't increase it like other fuels. Simply put if we are using a fuel source that is not as damaging as petrol then we would all want to pay less and then where would the goverment justify getting its money from?!?
They should also be pushing the use of using burring wood to heat our homes as a rotting tree still puts out the same amount of C02 as when it is being burned and the new wood pellet based central heating systems are over 85% efficient which is equal to most combi boilers etc...

In the whole reducing our impact on the environment is never going to be a bad thing....there you go rant over but food for thought!:eek:
