Exhaled air contains about 4% CO2, so you would have to exhale 12500 l of air to put out 500 l of CO2.
At 0.5 l per exhalation that's 25,000 breaths, which seems rather on the high side: 17 breaths per minute, round the clock.
It seems like a bit of a high estimate; could be true for people who are very physically active during parts of every 24 h period.
