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.
