It depends how much traffic is about. Carbon monoxide is not a naturally-occurring molecule, & is only produced by engines; once it gets into the atmosphere, the carbon satisfies its valency by pairing up with any stray atoms it can find, preferably oxygen.

∙ 11y agoCarbon monoxide is a gas and is found in air. High levels of carbon monoxide are poisonous to humans and, unfortunately, it cannot be detected by humans as it has no taste or smell and cannot be seen.
The natural concentration of carbon monoxide in air is around 0.2 parts per million (ppm), and that amount is not harmful to humans. Natural sources of carbon monoxide include volcanoes and bushfires.
The main sources of additional carbon monoxide are motor vehicle exhaust and some industrial activities, such as making steel.
Tobacco smoke is one of the main indoor sources of carbon monoxide.

What is composition of atmospheric air at sea level?
oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide,moisture, carbon monoxide, dust .. less percentage of other gases.....
Examples of primary air pollutants are carbon monoxide smoke and?
pollution
What does polluted air contain?
carbon monoxide, dirt, germ, pollutants
Why is air pollution is harmful?
Because it fills our air with harmful chemicals such has carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
What is the first order of treatment for a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning?
Immediate treatment for CO poisoning is to remove the victim from the source of carbon monoxide gas and get him or her into fresh air.
If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?
Carbon monoxide is actually close to the same density of air. It is carbon dioxide that is denser than air.
Is carbon monoxide part of air?
no its not
What is composition of atmospheric air at sea level?
oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide,moisture, carbon monoxide, dust .. less percentage of other gases.....
Compounds found in the air?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Which is heavier carbon monoxide or oxygen?
Oxygen. Because , mass of carbon monoxide is 28, whereas that of oxygen is 32.
What do furnace filters filter out of the air that passes though them?
They filter carbon monoxide out of the air. Carbon Monoxide is a deadly gas, but it's invisible and doesn't have a smell. When too much of it gets in a room where it can't get away, you can die from it.
Is air lighter than carbon monoxide?
CO is lighter than airAt 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm of pressure, carbon monoxide's density is 1.145kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.1839kg/m3. So carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air.
Can air conditioning contain carbon monoxide?
Only if the air it is circulating has carbon monoxide. Air conditioners do not produce nor do they contain carbon monoxide. If you suspect carbon monoxide in your air, you need to have an HVAC professional or your local gas company inspect your dwelling because another source is producing this deadly gas. Unmaintenanced heating systems are often the culprit.
What the air is comprised of when you breath it in and out?
carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is found in?
it is found in air
How much gas in air?
about 78% of air is nitrogen 21% oxygen, and 1% other gasses e.g. carbon monoxide, water vapour etc.
Why do rooms with gas fires need fresh air?
Rooms with a gas fire place need fresh air because the gas and the fire put off too much carbon monoxide. The fresh air will keep you from getting carbon monoxide poisoning.
