Carbon-dioxide and Human Life

Více o knize

Carbon monoxide poisoning results from excessive inhalation of CO, leading to symptoms resembling the flu, such as headaches and dizziness. Severe cases can lead to unconsciousness or death, while long-term effects may include fatigue and memory issues. The condition can arise accidentally or intentionally, and its diagnosis relies on specific HbCO levels in the blood. The poisoning primarily occurs as CO binds with hemoglobin, hindering oxygen transport, and can also affect myoglobin and mitochondrial functions.
