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.
Is carbon monoxide a source of air pollution?
Yes.
What gas is the automobile the largest source of?
carbon monoxide
The automobile engine is the largest source of what gas?
carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide found in the home often comes from this source?
Furnace
Is it possible to get carbon monoxide poisoning while outside I smelled lots of gas outside but i ran away from the source after a minute?
It is possible but unlikely. Carbon monoxide itself is odorless, so you likely smelled something else. If you mean to say you smelled natural gas, then the greatest risk is not from poisoning but from the explosion and fire that could result. If you think there is a gas leak, leave the area and call the fire department immediately.
What is an important source of carbon monoxide emissions that contributes to the greenhouse effect?
There is no important source of carbon monoxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon monoxide makes an insignificant contribution. If the question should read "Carbon dioxide" then see the related question below. ^He is right^ But the answer Novanet is looking for is Vehicles Stupid Novanet Grad Point answer: Vehicles
How can you cure carbon monoxide poisoning from diesel?
All carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the same, regardless of the source. We presume you mean from diesel exhaust. CO replaces oxygen in red blood cells and causes oxygen deprivation. In advanced cases it leads to brain damage, the same as from drowning or other forms of suffocation. Immediate treatment involves removing the patient from the presence of CO, and administering oxygen. If a pressure chamber is available, pure oxygen under pressure can overcome some of the problems until the CO is cleared from the body over time. If there is brain damage, it is no more "curable" when caused by carbon monoxide poisoning than from any other source. Time and rehabilitation may lead to improvement.
What is carbon monoxide and how may it be harmful to driver?
carbon monoxide is a deadly gas, it's harmful because cars produce carbon monoxide which is a deadly gas. make sure you are getting plenty of fresh air.Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas produces by the incomplete combustion of coal or hydrocarbons. Carbon monoxide molecule is composed of one atom of carbon C and one atom of oxygen C.Carbon monoxide combines with the blood hemoglobin, blocking the natural absorption of oxygen. Carbon monoxide has also other neurological effects, blocking the normal functioning of the brain.Although sensibility to carbon monoxide poisoning varies between individuals, exposure to high concentrations of CO carbon monoxide leads to a fast death. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide could also lead to death.It should be noted that carbon monoxide comes not only from engines but from combustion of coal, wood, hydrocarbons in conditions of low oxygenation. For example: a poorly ventilated slow burning coal furnace is a source of high volumes of carbon monoxide.
Which source emits 51 percent of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere each year?
Vehicles
Signs of carbon monixide?
None obvious to human observation (CO is colorless, odorless and tasteless), unless you mean signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, in which case: dizzyness, headache, blurred vision, unconsciousness, and death. Never burn anything indoors (aside from appliances specifically designed to be used without venting) and get a carbon monoxide detector if you suspect that your furnace or other heat source may be improperly vented.
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.
