Carbon Monoxide Poisoning [PDF]

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a nonirritating colourless, odourless gas produced by incomplete burning of carbon containing fossil fuels. The normal concentration in atmosphere is less than 0.001% and a concentration of 0.1% can be lethal. It causes thousands of uncalled for deaths each year.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common type of accidental poisoning in the United States, accounting for thousands of emergency department visits and some 800 deaths annually. Carbon monoxide, an insidious byproduct of incomplete hydrocarbon combustion, is generated in toxic amounts by internal-combustion engines, fossil-fuel furnaces, and fires.
