Best Answer

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.

How much carbon monoxide must be breathed to be fatal?

if losing 40% of blood loss is fatal then id assume that denaturing 40% of haemoglobin in the blood would be fatal,you only need one molecule of CO to render a whole haemaglobin molecule useless which usually carry's four O2 molecules,so if you have 30,000,000,000,000 RBC's(red blood cell), you have 270,000,000 haemaglobins in each RBC,you are gonna need about 2*10^21 molecules of CO to denature 40% of your haemaglobin which is probably fatal,or 0.0033moles/ 0.093 grams of CO,your average petrol car generates around 2g/km of CO so if you hooked the exhaust to a chamber and drove a kilometre you could kill 200 people with the CO alone,your average diesel car generates around 0.6g/km of COAnswer:Like most toxic poisonous substances Carbon Monoxide can be fatal at may combinations of time and exposure levels. There are safe working conditions hich allow some Carbon Monocide in the workplace air. The exposure time and levels of concern by NIOSH standards are:Exposure (hours)/CO Concentration (ppm)0.5 hours /2000 ppm1 hours /1600 ppm2 hours/1000 ppm4 hours / 400 ppm6 hours / 200 ppm8 hours / 150 ppm

Can an exhaust leak from the muffler get inside of my SUV?

yes. there are many paths into the vehicle, that carbon monixide can take. from the muffler though, its most dangerous for the vehicle to be motionless. not too harmful if you are moving, because its leaking from the back of the car. if you smell anything off, wind down your windows and take the vehicle to a garage at the earliest convenience. it can be fatal to breathe too much carbon monixide

What effect does carbon monixide have on the cardiovascular system?

Directly - none. BUT what CO does is to bind to hemoglobin preventing the heme from carrying O2 the way its supposed to - thus CO forces the cardiac output to increase to compensate. Because of the high binding power of CO this can lead to cardiac failure and/or death.


What is the chemical formula for carbon monixide?

The gram formula or molecular mass of CO can be found by simply looking at the periodic table of elements.Carbon has a mass of 12.0107gOxygen has a mass of 15.9994gSimply add both together to get your answer:12.0107g + 15.9994g = 28.0101gRemember sig figs!
