Each year more than 4,000 people are poisoned by carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can prove fatal in our homes, our workplace, or even outdoors. A report launched today as a result of a 6-months parliamentary inquiry shows how the toll of carbon monoxide (CO) on...
Scientists have discovered how living organisms - including humans - avoid poisoning from carbon monoxide generated by natural cell processes. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can prove fatal at high concentrations; the gas is most commonly associated with faulty domestic heating systems and...
I'm going on vacation (a ski trip) and I'm staying in a hotel. I was wondering if I should take a carbon monoxide detector with me; is this just being over reactive and unnecessarily worried?
I am searching for a couple of days now the answer and I had no success in finding some numbers for tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide amounts in the Blackstone Vanilla cigarettes.
@Al - I know that, but I need something more specific. :)
creating a draft in the room - is it illegal to block an air vent?

Carbon monoxide has no smell or taste; it is a byproduct of combustion. Humans and other animals with lungs cannot tell when they are breathing in carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding sites on hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that carries...
K. So our Carbon Monoxide detector started to alarm and the reading says: "34 PPM". However, we've checked all the pilot lights and they are all off. We are having our hardwood refinished and some finisher has been used on the floors. The finisher is highly flammable and contains certain...
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure...
I recently bought an CO detector (electrochemical type). I installed it properly. After awhile I suspected if it really works! Then I exposed it to my car's exhaust and It did not go off. Should i worry!
