Gaseous Emissions from the Human Body

Typical gaseous emissions rates from human bodies:

  • Acetaldehyde: 3.5×10⁻⁸ g/h
  • Acetone: 4.8×10⁻⁷ g/h
  • Ammonia: 1.6×10⁻⁵ g/h
  • Carbon dioxide: 3.2×10⁻² g/h
  • Carbon monoxide: 1×10⁻⁵ g/h
  • Hydrogen sulfide: 1.5×10⁻⁸ g/h
  • Methane: 1.7×10⁻⁶ g/h
  • Methanol: 6×10⁻⁹ g/h
  • Toluene: 2.3×10⁻⁸ g/h

Unit Conversion: 1 g/h = 1×10⁻³ kg/h = 2.2×10⁻³ lb/h
