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...
متن کاملUnstable angina and exposure to carbon monoxide.
Inhalation of small amounts of carbon monoxide diminishes the pain threshold in patients with stable angina pectoris. The aim of this study was to identify and describe patients who had been exposed unknowingly to toxic inhalations of this gas and subsequently presented to hospital with a clinical picture of unstable angina. Blood carboxyhaemoglobin levels of 104 patients referred with unstable...
متن کاملDecreased blood pressure associated with in-vehicle exposure to carbon monoxide in Korean volunteers
BACKGROUND Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the primary components of emissions from light-duty vehicles, and reportedly comprises 77% of all pollutants emitted in terms of concentration. Exposure to CO aggravates cardiovascular disease and causes other health disorders. The study was aimed to assess the negative effects by injecting different amounts of CO concentration directly to human volunte...
متن کاملExposure of Commuters to Carbon Monoxide in Mexico City-i. Measurement of In-vehicle Concentrations
The aims of this study were to determine in-vehicle carbon monoxide (CO) levels in major commuting modes in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City (MAMC) and to identify the main factors affecting the variation in these CO concentrations. CO concentrations were measured inside public and private transport vehicles during the winter of 1991 in Mexico City. Measurements were taken along several com...
متن کاملBreath analysis to detect recent exposure to carbon monoxide.
OBJECTIVES To determine the normal range for carbon monoxide concentrations in the exhaled breath of subjects in the emergency department and to develop a protocol for the use of a breath analyser to detect abnormal carbon monoxide exposure. METHODS A hand held breath analyser was used to measure end expiratory carbon monoxide concentrations in 382 consenting subjects. Questionnaire data were...
