n.o.s. = not otherwise specified meaning a collective entry to which substances, mixtures, solutions or articles may be assigned if a) they are not mentioned by name in 3.2 Dangerous Goods List AND b) they exhibit chemical, physical and/or dangerous properties corresponding to the Class, classification code, packing group and the name and description of the n.o.s. entry [2]
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 ...
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 ...
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula: CO 2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. Carbon dioxide sensor A carbon dioxide sensor (CO 2) is an instrument for the measurement of carbon dioxide gas. The most common principles for CO 2 sensors are infrared gas sensors and chemical gas sensors ...
The largest part of most combustion gas is nitrogen (N 2), water vapor (H 2 O) (except with pure-carbon fuels), and carbon dioxide (CO 2) (except for fuels without carbon); these are not toxic or noxious (although water vapor and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change).
Typically, you should have at least one carbon monoxide detector on every level of the home, including the basement and attic, though the size of the home and the number of gas burning appliances ...
Toxic: a chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC 50) in air of more than 200 parts per million (ppm) but not more than 2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or more than 2 milligrams per liter but not more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for 1 hour (or less if death occurs within 1 hour) to albino rats ...
The true number of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning is unknown, since many non-lethal exposures go undetected. [29] [52] From the available data, carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common cause of injury and death due to poisoning worldwide. [53] Poisoning is typically more common during the winter months.
