Carbon Monoxide

true

Always breathe fresh air. In particular, be sure your garage or any enclosure in which gasoline engines are running is well-ventilated. Be sure your gas furnace and water heater have an unobstructed vent. A carbon monoxide detector is a good idea in any enclosed area.

First Alert plug in combination explosive gas/carbon monoxide alarm with battery backup is a great way to detect leaks in your home. It can also detect propane gas, methane gas, and natural gas.

No they does not. But cigarette smoke contains.

Nothing does. Carbon monoxide is toxic. If your blood is rich in it, you will soon be dead. Veins generally carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide.

Yes, most liquid petrol lighter burn ineffectively (with yellow flame)and carbon monoxide is one of the unwanted byproducts. Gas-filled lighter are better, more completely burning with a blue flame

It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.

Carbon Monoxide is a by-product from burning fuel from cars. The fuel from cars is a petroleum-derived mixture gasoline, when burned, produces energy and waste products, Carbon Monoxide and other gases

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

People who swim underneath the swim platform where the engine exhaust is released are actively trying to win a Darwin Award, which is earned by the most ingenious way of eliminating your genes (and yourself) from continuing in the gene pool.

A boat produces the highest concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust system.

Because it's an odourless and colourless gas. At night, people are less aware of their surroundings while asleep. This could mean that they are overcome by carbon monoxide 'fumes' without having the chance to escape.

The chemical symbol for Carbon Monoxide is CO.

The Nazis built extermination vans to transport Jews to concentration camps. They had poorly-tuned gasoline engines and an exhaust system that could route smoke into the passenger compartment. (The driver sat in an open-air cockpit.) They would fill the van with Jews, start driving a long route to the camp, and open a valve to release smoke into the passengers. They soon realized this worked but would never be able to kill enough people.

Carbon monoxide is first produced by either human activities involving combustion or a variety of natural processes. From there on, it reacts with oxygen/hydrogen radicals in the atmosphere and become carbon dioxide.

The fact that most carbon monoxide will become carbon dioxide when left in the atmosphere long enough can help explain why the carbon monoxide cycle is not taught in school.

keep air flowing through the vessel

I believe that it is law in some states to have a carbon monoxide detector, but regardless of whether or not it is law, it would be extremely wise to invest in a good working carbon monoxide gas detector. It is an odorless gas, and is a silent killer. Do yourself a favour and replace the one that is not working.

The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.

The chemical formula for carbon monoxide is CO while that for carbon dioxide is CO2. Both are colourless and odourless gases, but CO2 will form a white precipitate with limewater. CO is toxic to humans; CO2 causes the enhanced greenhouse effect that leads to global warming.

Kidde is a type of Carbon Monoxide detector. Since Carbon Monoxide can not be smelled, it is generally a good idea to have a device that can detect such a chemical as a safety precaution.

When your chimney is old and the lining comes undone, you are at a very high risk of smoke and carbon monoxide poisoning. Instead of building a new chimney from scratch, there is a cheaper option of just putting in a new chimney liner. Here is a short breakdown of the steps that you will need to follow.

1. The first thing that you need to do is put a probe down your chimney to check for and remove any obstructions that may be lodged within it. While doing this you can get to measure the interior of the chimney as well.

2. You will then need to clean the chimney. You can call a chimney sweep to do it for you or choose to do it yourself. You will need a cleaning brush that has a chain attached to it so that you can lower it into the chimney and pull it back up repetitively. They are very easy to find in hardware shops.

3. Step three is to choose a chimney liner suited to your chimney requirements. Very cheap options to go with are the flexible ones made from materials such as stainless steel. Make sure that you get the best fitting chimney liner so that you do not use up too much interior space of the chimney.

4. Lower the chimney liner from the top of the chimney. If you have a line lowered down and a wench at the top you will be able to do it easily using the line to draw the chimney liner in place. This should be done very slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the liner. A couple of plates should then be attached to keep the liner firmly in place. The plates will also keep the smoke from escaping into your home through the smoke chamber.

5. Step 5 will require that you make a mixture of vermiculite and cement which you will then pour down the chimney carefully. This mixture goes in between the chimney liner and the stone of the chimney itself. This step is done to properly insulate the chimney.

Not very big in molecular terms. of the order of 150 pm. (picometers)

When CO is not ventilated it binds to hemoglobin, which is the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood; this produces a compound known as carboxyhemoglobin. The traditional belief is that carbon monoxide toxicity arises from the formation of carboxyhemoglobin, which decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and inhibits the transport, delivery, and utilization of oxygen by the body. The affinity between hemoglobin and carbon monoxide is approximately 230 times stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen so hemoglobin binds to carbon monoxide in preference to oxygen. ~ Wikipedia.

Carbon monoxide mostly emanates from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and wood. It can be released from sources like car engines, power plants, industrial processes, and home heating systems. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can be highly toxic when inhaled.
