Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is highly toxic to humans and animals. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials such as coal, gasoline, and wood.
Carbon monoxide can cause serious health problems, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and even death. It binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be transported to vital organs and tissues, leading to oxygen starvation.
Carbon monoxide is a common cause of accidental poisoning, often occurring in poorly ventilated areas where fuel-burning appliances are used, such as gas stoves, furnaces, and water heaters. It is important to have working carbon monoxide detectors in your home to alert you to the presence of this dangerous gas. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, you should immediately evacuate the area and seek medical attention.
