Carbon monoxide consists of a tasteless odour which is released when certain fossil fuels are burnt. A minor proportion of this gas is released when a cigarette is smoked. The gas is intoxicated whilst breathing and enters the blood stream through many veins including the jugular vein it then continuos it's voyage and exchanges through the lungs it is here potentially lethal substances are formed. Outside layers of the earths atmosphere CO is present in vast quantitys This gas is also growing due to persistant industrial times. Study's prove that ever since the industrial revolution in 1750 an increase in percentages of plausibly harmful gases have been confirmed this if left untreated will greater the melting of ice caps and contribute to global warming. Devices carefully situated around a house can detect seemingly dangerous levels of this substance and have become mandatory in many homes across the uk. If you have any other confabulations regarding scientific research p,ease do not hesitate to ask me.

∙ 11y agoCarbon monoxide forms from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. You could find this in car exhaust, in urban areas with poor ventilation such as Los Angeles or Fairbanks, Alaska, from hot water heaters which use gas or from propane heaters used is some homes. It is quite deadly at small concentrations.
