The Haldane effect describes how deoxygenated hemoglobin increases its capacity to carry carbon dioxide, thus the relationship between low oxyhemoglobin levels and increased CO2 carrying capacity.

The Lower the Amount of Oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2), the Higher the CO2

The Lower the Amount of Oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O₂), the Higher the CO₂
