Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from Furnace Blamed in Two Halifax DeathsCarbon monoxide likely cause of two deaths--HALIFAX - Carbon monoxide that came from a home's...Tutton, Michael
Where does carbon monoxide come from? Carbon monoxide can be produced by the combustion that occurs from a fuel-burning appliance like a furnace, clothes dryer, range, oven, water heater, or space heater. When appliances and vents work properly, and there is enough fresh air in your home to...
Carbon monoxide emissions from an IGCC with capture are reduced as the WGS process is introduced, converting CO and H2O into H2 and CO2. A second source of CO emissions is the pre-preparation of the fuel, i.e. storage and grinding. The latter emissions will not be d...
Carbon monoxideis colorless, tasteless, and odorless and is the major cause of death by poisoning in the United States and most industrialized countries. Exposure results from incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials such as gasoline, coal, and wood. Home exposures occur from furnace gas...
Carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout a room. Another common misconception is that you will smell it before it causes harm. While you may be able to smell gas, such as propane, or smoke from a wood stove or furnace, you cannot smell carbon monoxide....
OBJECTIVES: We studied the clinical profile and autopsy findings of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning encountered at a hospital located at the altitude of 5,000 ft above mean sea level. METHODS: Clinical and postmortem findings in 25 and 15 cases of accidental CO poisoning respectively were evaluated...
Carbon monoxide is also useful as a reducing agent. It is used in metallurgy to obtain metals from their oxides. For example, during iron and steel production coke in a blast furnace is converted to carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide reduces the Fe3+in the iron (III) oxide contained in...
Carbon monoxide is formed when organic compounds burn. The most common sources are motor vehicle exhaust, smoke from fires, engine fumes, and nonelectric heaters. Carbon monoxide poisoning is often associated with malfunctioning or obstructed exhaust systems and with suicide attempts. Sources of carbon...
Carbon monoxide (CO)is a colorless, odorless gas that results from burning fossil fuels, such as in furnaces, water heaters, and gas kitchen ranges. It’s also a poison that can sicken and kill, and although most fossil fuel appliances are adequately vented, a cracked furnace heat exchanger...
