Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Air Quality)

A colorless, odorless, toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances. One of the major air pollutants, it is emitted in large quantities by exhaust from gasoline-powered vehicles

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Carpet)

A colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that results from incomplete combustion of carbon. The EPA ambient air quality TLV for carbon monoxide is 35 ppm for 1 hour, and 9 ppm for an 8 hour period.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Emergency Health Care)

A colorless, odorless gas which can be created whenever a fuel (such as wood, gasoline, coal, natural gas, or kerosene) is burning.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Energy)

A colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas made up of carbon and oxygen molecules formed by the incomplete combustion of carbon or carbonaceous material, including gasoline. It is a major air pollutant on the basis of weight.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Environment)

A colorless, odorless, poisonous gas produced by incomplete fossil fuel combustion.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Environmental Health)

A colorless, odorless gas which can be created whenever a fuel (such as wood, gasoline, coal, natural gas, or kerosene) is burning.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Health)

A colorless, odorless gas which can be created whenever a fuel (such as wood, gasoline, coal, natural gas, or kerosene) is burning.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Import Cars)

An odorless gas composed of carbon (c) and hydrogen (H), formed by the incomplete combustion of any fuel containing carbon. This major air pollutant is potentially lethal if inhaled, even in small amounts.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Natural Gas)

A poisonous, combustible gas formed by incomplete combustion of carbon, or reduction of carbon dioxide.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Real Estate)

A colorless, odorless gas that occurs as a byproduct of burning such fuels as wood, oil and natural gas due to incomplete combustion.
National Safety Council on Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Sanitation)

A colorless, odorless gas which is toxic because of its tendency to reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Carbon Monoxide (Co) (Satellite Meteorology)

A colorless and odorless toxic gas. It is found in the atmosphere at different levels of concentration.
