toxic. The lungs are the place in the body where essential oxygen is taken in, and toxic carbon dioxide is released. When the lungs have difficulty doing their job, other organs in the body have difficulty doing their jobs. Therefore, the health of the lungs has direct and immediate effects on the overall health of the body. 1
What happens if your lungs stop working?   Lungs supply oxygen to your blood and they also clear waste carbon dioxide. If they stop working your blood loses oxygen and starts to build up an excess of waste carbonâ¦ dioxide. Muscles and other tissue can survive quite a long period without oxygen, but the brain cannot. Shortage of oxygen to the brain will cause you to lose consciousness.
