Source from Cirric on Yahoo Answers (who got it from "the web") :
Hi. From the web: "Carbon monoxide, like oxygen, has an affinity for iron-containing molecules, but it is about 210 times more effective in binding to iron-containing haemoglobin than oxygen is. Since air contains 21% oxygen this means that only 0.1% carbon monoxide in the air will eventually lead to 50% of the haemoglobin being combined to form carboxyhaemoglobin. Once carboxyhaemoglobin is formed, and after exposure ceases, it takes 4-5 hours for its level in the blood to fall, exponentially, by 50%. The ill effect of the gas can therefore be cumulative, and a person can be poisoned by intermittent exposure during the day."
