Carbon monoxide in foundry air.

Carbon Monoxide Urban Air Pollution: Cardiac Effects

Factors predictive of ischemic heart disease mortality in foundry workers exposed to carbon monoxide.

The potential predictors of ischemic heart disease mortality were studied for 931 male foundry workers in Finland who participated in a health examination in 1973. These workers were followed up to 1993 through registers and by using a questionnaire. In 1973, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures of workers exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) were slightly higher than those of unexposed worker...

Increased carbon monoxide in exhaled air of asthmatic patients.

Exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were measured on a CO monitor by vital capacity maneuvers in asthmatic patients receiving or not receiving inhaled corticosteroids and in nonsmoking and smoking healthy control subjects. CO was detectable and measured reproducibly in the exhaled air of all subjects. The exhaled CO concentrations were higher in asthmatic patients not receiving inhaled ...

Wavelet Analysis of Air Pollution due to Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is the most abundant of the criteria pollutants. High concentration of Carbon monoxide generally occurs in areas with heavy traffic congestion. There are adverse effects on Human health due to the high concentration of CO in the atmosphere. The metropolitan cities are facing such type of problems a lot. In a given signal (data of average CO per day, observed by DPCC Anand Vihar,...

Biological signaling by carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide-releasing molecules.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is continuously produced in mammalian cells during the degradation of heme. It is a stable gaseous molecule that reacts selectively with transition metals in a specific redox state, and these characteristics restrict the interaction of CO with defined biological targets that transduce its signaling activity. Because of the high affinity of CO for ferrous heme, these targets...
