Abstract
The existence of carbon dioxide was first demonstrated by Jean Baptiste van Helmont (1577–1644), who studied in Louvain, where he took a doctor’s degree in medicine. He was the first to speak of “gas”. In 1754, carbon dioxide was rediscovered by the Scottish chemist, Joseph Black, who was Professor of Chemistry (first in Glasgow, later in Edinburgh) from 1766 to 1797. He demonstrated that carbon dioxide was present in expired air.
