Some physiological and pathological effects of moderate carbon monoxide exposure.

The toxic effect of carbon monoxide on the animal organism has probably been known by man since the discovery of fire, and we know it was recognized as a dangerous poison in ancient times. It was Claude Bernard who first studied its mode of action, and he showed that blood treated with carbon monoxide was unable to bind oxygen. J. S. Haldane (1895) is considered as the pioneering investigator o...

Effects of exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide on exercise performance and myocardial perfusion in young healthy men.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), as commonly measured in atmospheric urban air pollution and certain occupational environments, on exercise performance and myocardial perfusion in young healthy men, and the possible need for tighter restrictions on ambient concentrations of CO. METHODS 15 young, healthy non-smoking men, 18-35 years old...

Pnm-19: Residential Exposure to Carbon Monoxide and Spontaneous Abortion

Background: The relationship between air pollution exposure and adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight and IUGR was studied. However, very few studies evaluated the effect of air pollution emissions on spontaneous abortion. We examined association between spontaneous abortion of the first trimester of pregnancy and ambient concentrations of carbon monoxide in Tehran. Materials and Meth...
