Carbon Monoxide - Analysis
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Carbon Monoxide'Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Common names: Carbon Monoxide; Monoxide, Carbon |

Air pollution and hospitalization for headache in Chile.
7 Sep 2009 
The authors performed a time-series analysis to test the association between air pollution and daily numbers of hospitalizations for headache in 7 Chilean urban centers during the period 2001-2005. Results were adjusted for day of the week and ... Read more...
30 Aug 2009 The current air quality limit values for airborne pollutants in the UK are low by historical standards and are at levels that are believed not to harm health. We assess whether this view is correct. We examine the relationship between common sources ... Read more...
Portable emission measurements of Yellowstone Park snowcoaches and snowmobiles.
30 Jul 2009 As part of the National Park Service's Temporary Winter Use Plans Environmental Assessment, the University of Denver has been collecting in-use tailpipe emissions data from snowcoaches and snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park. During the winter ... Read more...
