    Study Notes

    Characteristics of Carbon Monoxide

    • Colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is nonirritating.
    • Binds to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin with a binding affinity 250 times greater than oxygen.
    • Interferes with the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve by shifting it to the left, reducing oxygen transport.

    Source of Carbon Monoxide

    • Produced from incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials.
    • Occurs in environments with insufficient oxygen availability.
    • Typically generated in very small amounts under normal conditions.
