Intoxicacion With Co

Intoxication with CO, a silent killer.
The intoxication with CO happens when we inhaled a toxic gas named carbon monoxide enters the organism by the respiratory system, and this happens because thisgas doesn’t have odor or taste so that why it’s very difficult for people to notice if it is a leakage of this gas. Symptoms of mild acute poisoning include lightheadedness,confusion, headaches, vertigo, and flu-like effects; larger exposures can lead to significant toxicity of the central nervous system and heart, and even death.
The reasons for a person to intoxicate with co can differ it canbe by and accident, by a leak of gas, suicide.
Carbon monoxide (sometimes referred to as CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning material containing carbon. Carbon monoxide poisoning cancause brain damage and death. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it; but carbon monoxide can kill you.
* Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas is known as the "silentkiller." The Centers for Disease Control estimates that carbon monoxide poisoning claims nearly 400 lives, and causes more than 20,000 visits to hospital emergency departments annually.
* Carbon monoxideis produced by common household appliances. When not properly ventilated, carbon monoxide emitted by these appliances can build up. See the list of appliances that can emit carbon monoxide in thisarticle under Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Causes.
* Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue, are often mistaken for the flu because the deadly gas goesundetected in a home. Prolonged exposure can lead to brain damage and even death.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Causes
Carbon monoxide is formed when organic compounds burn. The most common sources are motorvehicle exhaust, smoke from fires, engine fumes, and nonelectric heaters. Carbon monoxide poisoning is often associated with malfunctioning or obstructed exhaust systems and with suicide...
