Yes, I believe there is. If a driver wrecks a truck because he passes out and the hospital says it is carbon monoxide poisoning, how can you question whether it is real or not? This has happened several times in several different situations

Why should gas-powered trucks not be allowed to idle for long periods in semi-enclosed or enclosed areas?
The exhaust from gas powered engines contains carbon monoxide and in an enclosed area it can reach hazardous levels.
How much automotive exhaust is produced by cars each year?
Vehicle exhaust is mostly carbon dioxide, with a little water, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. This answer deals with the carbon dioxide content only.Sixteen percent (16%) of human carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions comes from road transport (cars, trucks and buses). Cars are responsible for about half of this (8%).Humans are responsible for around 35 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.Car emissions, 8% of that total, is around 2.8 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (2,800,000,000).
What are causes of carbon emission?
The causes of carbon emissions are humans. We humans use fuel by DRIVING TOO MANY FUEL CARS AND TRUCKS!
Can you get carbon monoxide poisoning from diesel semi trucks?
This is possible, but unlikely. Diesel engines detonate fuel using pressure and temperature, rather than with an artificial spark. This process operates with excessive oxygen, ensuring a much more complete combustion than what is typical in a gasoline engine. Typically, diesel exhaust contains some carbon monoxide, but the amounts are very minimal and not fatal for an otherwise healthy person. The author of this answer used to work as an over-the-road truck driver, and once had an experience where a neighboring truck was basically pumping diesel fumes straight into the sleeper vent all night. The inside of the sleeper was all hazy and the diesel odor was extremely strong, but it did not cause any health problems beyond teary eyes. It is completely possible to get carbon monoxide poisoning from a diesel engine in a road tractor. Contributing factors such as weather, temperature, and engine condition can greatly affect the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning. A good example of this is that a driver in a truck with an exhaust problem when it is cold and raining is at greater risk than the same person in the same truck on a sunny day. The reason for this is the barometric pressure holds the carbon monoxide closer to the ground and allows it to enter the truck.
What is one toixc chemical produced by burning wood?
Creosote, benzo (a) pyrene, dioxins, furans, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and a whole host of others, but that should be enough to be going on with. All wood, whether it's construction timber or straight from the pristine forest, contains sulphur and chlorine in differing amounts which produce some fairly unpleasant compounds when burnt. It's all relative though, as so do cars, buses, trucks, planes and cigarettes (in much, much larger amounts).

How are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted?
The principle ways carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted is from the burning of fossil fuels. This can be in coal burning to produce electricity. The burning of gasoline and diesel in automobiles and trucks also produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Aviation in all its forms burns Jet Kerosene which is also a major source. Respiration in living things such animals and humans etc, produces carbon dioxide but NOT carbon monoxide in any appreciable quantity.
