Carbon Monoxide, chemical compound of carbon and oxygen with the formula CO. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas, about three (3) percent lighter than air, and is poisonous to all warm-bloodied animals and to many other forms of life. ...
Carbon Monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of the fossil fuels; gas, oil, coal and wood used in boilers, engines, oil burners, gas fires, water heaters, solid fuel appliances and open fires. Carbon monoxide is formed whenever carbon or substances containing carbon are burned with an insufficient air supply. Even when the amount of air is theoretically sufficient, the reaction is not always complete, so that the combustion gases contain some free oxygen and some carbon monoxide.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are: headache, nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness and confusion. ... 1 refers to symptoms a human suffer given a particular concentration of carbon monoxide in the air when one is in enclosed spaces. ... Symptoms that are seen due to the toxicity levels of the exposure to carbon monoxide
PPM CO Time Symptoms
35 PPM 8 hours Maximum exposure allowed by OSHA in the workplace over and eight-hour period. ...
Carbon Monoxide poisons by entering the lungs via the normal breathing mechanism and displacing oxygen from the bloodstream. ...
Carbon Monoxide detectors are designed to protect against high concentration of carbon monoxide and is required to sound an alarm when concentrations are greater than 100 ppm.
