Answer: The blood diffused from carbon dioxide can be put in the alveoli. There is a higher concentration of the carbon dioxide in the blood compared to the lungs. The high levels of carbon dioxide need to be lowered, because the higher levels of carbon dioxide can lead to respiratory failure.

Hope this helps!
