Carbon monoxide exposures after hurricane Ike - Texas, September 2008.

12 Aug 2009 During power outages after hurricanes, survivors can be at risk for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning if they use portable generators improperly. On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike struck the coast of Texas, leaving approximately 2.3 million ... Read more...

Dying to play video games: carbon monoxide poisoning from electrical generators used after hurricane Ike.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common after major storms because of loss of electrical power and use of alternate fuel sources for heat and electricity. In past epidemics of hurricane-related CO poisoning, the source has typically ... Read more...

[Acute poisoning with carbon monoxide (CO) and cyanide (CN)]

29 Apr 2009 A critical analysis of acute CO and CN poisonings evidences that the lone toxicological similarity between CO and CN is their ability to avidly bind iron ions in the different hemoproteins. Otherwise, CO is a stable not-metabolized molecule while CN ... Read more...
