Breathing carbon monoxide
The greater the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air the more rapid the oxygen displacement occurs in the human body and, an immediately hazardous to life condition can exist for some sooner than others. Lower chronic exposures may result in symptoms not recognized as mild CO poisoning. The medical symptoms and health effects of carbon monoxide poisoning can vary significantly based upon the age & sex of the person exposed, their overall or general state of health, their weight, time of exposure and the levels of CO in their blood. But if you don’t test people who present these symptoms for CO poisoning, their suffering may continue.
This displacement of oxygen in blood begins a process that generates a free radical or a disassociated molecule reaction. At lower poisonous levels the symptoms might be slower reaction time, weak muscular movement & dexterity, hampered visual focus, headache or nausea and may be immediate symptoms or poisonous enough to cause heart stresses in compensation for the loss of oxygen. CO poisoning has the potential of harming your central nervous system because of the disruption of oxygen delivery.
