Do human need carbon monoxide to survive?
The body makes all the carbon monoxide it needs, which isn't much but it's more than none.
How burning carbon in air can lead o the formation of carbon monoxide?
The formation of carbon dioxide. Burning coal that releases only carbon dioxide means the coal is completely burnt and more energy is produced. Carbon monoxide is released when the combustion process is incomplete.
Is carbon monoxide a pure substance of a mixture?
Carbon monoxide is a pure substance, as it is made up of molecules that are all identical (one carbon atom and one oxygen atom). It does not contain different types of molecules mixed together.
What does carbon monoxide pollution come from?
You inhale it then the Carbon monoxide bonds with the hemoglobin in blood.Hemoglobin is supposed to bond with oxygen and carry it around the blood stream - but chemically it prefers to bond to carbonmonoxide - when it does this your blood can't carry as much oxygen and you get drowsy and then pass out and die. It's almost like slow internal suffocation.
Does carbon monoxide compete with oxygen for the same binding site?
Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.
Where is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is not created by incomplete combustion. Almost all fuel burning appliances and fires do not burn at 100% efficiency. So some carbon monoxide gas is created. The amount produced is usually not a problem if the appliances are working as designed and venting properly. However, there are many circumstances that can cause carbon monoxide levels to rise. http://www.carbon-monoxide-Survivor.com/carbon-monoxide-sources-where-it-comes-from.html
What gases do train produce?
Just about all the gases that are in car exhaust, including carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen.
Does cigarette produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
No, it is composed of mainstream smoke, and sidestream smoke
What are the differences between CO and CO2?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a naturally occurring process required for plants and animals to live. CO is carbon monoxide and can be the result of oxygen starves combustion, forest fires, and internal combustion engines. Both can be deadly.
How much carbon monoxide does a foreign car produce?
All cars sold in north America must meet strict regulations concerning this. So all produce very close to the same. By the way from where you are what is a foreign country?
How does carbon monoxide affect the chesapeake bay?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a poison which invades a cell's electron transport chain and basically suffocates the cell of ATP, the energy produced by the cell to power the cell. Carbon Monoxide effects all the cells in an organism's body and will eventually kill that organism. This will happen to all the organisms in the bay is the carbon monoxide spreads far enough and will kill all life.

What plastic can give off carbon monoxide when burned?
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)

How are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted?
The principle ways carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted is from the burning of fossil fuels. This can be in coal burning to produce electricity. The burning of gasoline and diesel in automobiles and trucks also produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Aviation in all its forms burns Jet Kerosene which is also a major source. Respiration in living things such animals and humans etc, produces carbon dioxide but NOT carbon monoxide in any appreciable quantity.
