  2. Exhaust gas analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_analyzer

    The carbon monoxide concentration in exhaust gases is closely related, and almost proportional to the air fuel ratio in the rich regions. It is, therefore, of great value when tuning an engine. Carbon dioxide emitted is theoretically directly proportional to the fuel consumed at a given and constant air fuel ratio. Less carbon dioxide will be ...

  3. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom connected by a triple bond. It is the simplest carbon oxide. In coordination complexes, the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl. It is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning

    Carbon monoxide also binds to the hemeprotein myoglobin. It has a high affinity for myoglobin, about 60 times greater than that of oxygen. [21] Carbon monoxide bound to myoglobin may impair its ability to utilize oxygen. [49] This causes reduced cardiac output and hypotension, which may result in brain ischemia. [21]

    Gas appliances are designed to vent CO outdoors, but if there’s a malfunction, they can leak it indoors and cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Breathing in a lot of CO can make you pass out, or ...

  8. Mobile source air pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_source_air_pollution

    Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide forms when carbon in fuel does not burn completely (incomplete combustion). The main source of carbon monoxide in air is vehicle emissions. As much as 95 percent of the carbon monoxide in typical U.S. cities comes from mobile sources, according to EPA studies.
