THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN POSTED AT THE WEBSITE OF CO-EXPERTS FOR QUITE A WHILE. This is not a new study but one that has been overlooked.The University of California Los Angeles's Tobacco-related Disease Research Program; How chronic exposure to tiny levels of carbon monoxide damages hearing in young ears:
FINDINGS: UCLA scientists have discovered how chronic exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide [CO] damages the inner ear, resulting in permanent hearing loss. At the Ca/OSHA's exposure limit of 0.0025 percent -- or 25 parts per million CO in the air -- the gas creates oxidative stress, a condition that damages the cochlear cells, leading to impairment of the auditory nerves.
CONTEXT: Tobacco smoke, gas heaters, stoves and ovens all emit CO, which can rise to high concentrations in poorly ventilated homes. Infants and children are particularly vulnerable to CO exposure because they spend a great deal of time in the home. NO policies exist to mandate regulation of CO in the home.
IMPACT: This is the first time that inhaled CO has been linked to oxidative stress, a known risk in many disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multi Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s Disease and Cardiovascular Disease, Anemia, Asthma, and other Respiratory Problems.
Tobacco smoke, which contains CO, also aggravates many of these diseases. The UCLA findings highlight the need for policy makers to reexamine the regulation of CO due to car exhaust, tobacco smoke, smog, and heating and cooking appliances; as well as any and all sources of carbon monoxide.
