Abstract
Carbon monoxide appears to be the leading cause of injury and death due to poisoning worldwide.1 A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of any carbon-containing fuel. Prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning requires public education on the safe operation of appliances, heaters, fireplaces, and internal-combustion engines, as well as increased emphasis on the installation of carbon monoxide alarms.1 Despite the ubiquitous presence of carbon monoxide in our environment, its known threat to public health, and more than a century of scientific investigation, the mechanisms of injury and methods of treating carbon monoxide poisoning are . . .This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
