EO News: LLNL Scientists to Present Tool for Ridding the Atmosphere of Excess Carbon - December 12, 2001
Direct injection of carbon dioxide into the deep ocean will likely negatively impact marine organisms and their ecosystems, due to the increased acidity. Recent research shows that the Acid-Base Imbalance can cause exoskeletal components to decay, retard growth and reproduction, reduce activity and cause loss of consciousness and even death to deep ocean marine life because of a disruption of oxygen-transport mechanisms (Science, Vol. 294, p. 319-320).

PMEL Publications Abstract
Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is altering the seawater chemistry of the world’s oceans with consequences for marine biota. Elevated partial pressure of CO 2 (pCO 2 ) is causing the calcium carbonate saturation horizon to shoal in many regions, particularly in high latitudes and regions that intersect with pronounced hypoxic zones. The ability of marine animals, most importantly pteropod molluscs, foraminifera, and some benthic invertebrates, to produce calcareous skeletal structures is directly affected by seawater CO 2 chemistry. CO 2 influences the physiology of marine organisms as well through Acid-Base Imbalance and reduced oxygen transport capacity. The few studies at relevant pCO 2 levels impede our ability to predict future impacts on foodweb dynamics and other ecosystem processes. Here we present new observations, review available data, and identify priorities for future research, based on regions, ecosystems, taxa, and physiological processes believed to be most vulnerable to ocean acidification. We conclude that ocean acidification and the synergistic impacts of other anthropogenic stressors provide great potential for widespread changes to marine ecosystems.

Acid-Base Imbalance - 5 guidelines

ATSDR - MMG: Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde vapor produces immediate local irritation in mucous membranes, including eyes, nose, and upper respiratory tract. Ingestion of formalin causes severe injury to the gastrointestinal tract. The exact mechanism of action of formaldehyde toxicity is not clear, but it is known that it can interact with molecules on cell membranes and in body tissues and fluids (e.g., proteins and DNA) and disrupt cellular functions. High concentrations cause precipitation of proteins, which results in cell death. Absorption from the respiratory tract is very rapid; absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is also rapid, but may be delayed by ingestion with food. Once absorbed, formaldehyde is metabolized to formic acid, which may cause Acid-Base Imbalance and a number of other systemic effects.
