Carbon monoxide (CO) can negatively impact the environment primarily through its contribution to air pollution. While it is not a greenhouse gas, CO can interfere with the atmosphere's ability to cleanse itself by reacting with hydroxyl radicals, which are crucial for breaking down other pollutants. Elevated CO levels can also affect human health and ecosystems, leading to respiratory issues in humans and affecting wildlife. Additionally, its presence can indicate incomplete combustion, which may signal higher emissions of more harmful pollutants.
