If the body's pH balance is too low (acidic), the lungs and the kidneys constantly remove carbon dioxide, which helps to neutralize hydrogen ions. Conversely, if it is too high (alkaline), the kidneys excrete bicarbonate iron that elevates the hydrogen ion concentration, creating a more acidic environment.n chemistry, pH is the acronym for Potential Hydrogen and it is the measurement of acidity. An acid is any chemical that releases hydrogen ions in solution. The Potential Hydrogen scale was invented in 1909 to measure the acidity of beer.
