Why is CO of interest?Why is CO of interest?
A criteria air pollutant under the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS):
– 9 parts per million (ppm) (10 mg/m3) for an 8-hour9 parts per million (ppm) (10 mg/m ) for an 8 hour average and
– 35 ppm (40 mg/m3) for a 1- hour average. Health effects: can bind with hemoglobin which leads to gcarboxyhemoglobin (COHb), as hemoglobin has an affinity for CO approximate 240 times its affinity to oxygen;Symptoms:
– 30%-50% COHb → Headache, nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, increase pulse and respirator> 50% COHb con lsion collapse coma death
3– > 50% COHb → convulsion, collapse, coma, death.
