Carbon monoxide is highly toxic, and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, so it is important to avoid any build-up of the gas in a confined space.

** Carbon monoxide poisoning which inhibits the ability of hemoglobin to release the oxygen bound to it.

Carbon monosulfide ( CS ) unlike carbon monoxide is very unstable.

Carbon monoxide was ( and is ) the reducing agent of choice for smelting.

Carbon monoxide can be lethal at high concentration, usually less than 1000 ppmv.

Carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin in the blood, forming carboxyhemoglobin, reducing the blood ’ s ability to transport oxygen.

Carbon monoxide can cause atherosclerosis ; the hardening of arteries, and can also trigger heart attacks.

Carbon monoxide binds to iron in an end-on fashion, and is hindered by the presence of the distal histidine, which forces it into a bent conformation.

* Carbon monoxide inhalation, such as from a car exhaust: carbon monoxide has a higher affinity than oxygen to the hemoglobin in the blood's red blood corpuscles, bonding with it tenaciously, and, in the process, displacing oxygen and preventing the blood from transporting oxygen around the body

* Carbon monoxide CO: 27. 0 %

Carbon monoxide ( CO ) is tightly and rapidly bound to hemoglobin in the blood, so the partial pressure of CO in the capillaries is negligible and the second term in the denominator can be ignored.

* Carbon monoxide

* Carbon monoxide, the molecular formula of the toxic gas ( also called carbonic oxide )

Carbon is also classed as an atmophile because it forms very strong multiple bonds with oxygen in carbon monoxide ( slowly oxidised in the atmosphere ) and carbon dioxide.

Carbon monoxide concentration in breath has been shown to be directly correlated with the CO concentration in blood, known as percent carboxyhemoglobin.

* Carbon monoxide poisoning ;

** Carbon monoxide poisoning complicated by cyanide poisoning ;

* Carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are common poisons in breathing gases.

Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after enough inhalation of carbon monoxide ( CO ).

Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, but, being colorless, odorless, tasteless, and initially non-irritating, it is very difficult for people to detect.

Carbon prices are normally quoted in Euros per tonne of carbon dioxide or its equivalent ( CO < sub > 2 </ sub > e ).

Carbon fibers derived from Polyacrylonitrile ( PAN ) are turbostratic, whereas carbon fibers derived from mesophase pitch are graphitic after heat treatment at temperatures exceeding 2200 C. Turbostratic carbon fibers tend to have high tensile strength, whereas heat-treated mesophase-pitch-derived carbon fibers have high Young's modulus ( i. e., high stiffness or resistance to extension under load ) and high thermal conductivity.

Carbon fiber yarn is rated by the linear density ( weight per unit length, i. e. 1 g / 1000 m = 1 tex ) or by number of filaments per yarn count, in thousands.

As well as pumping petroleum from an underground well through a borehole, liquid or gas can be pumped into it, for that process, or for underground storage of unwanted substances., e. g. in Carbon capture and storage.

As an example, for an organization to be certified carbon neutral by Standard Carbon, it must offset all direct and indirect emissions from travel by 1 lb CO < sub > 2 </ sub > e per passenger mile, and all non-electricity direct emissions 100 %.

Carbon nanotubes, also called buckytubes, are cylindrical carbon molecules with novel properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of applications ( e. g., nano-electronics, optics, materials applications, etc .).

Dry ice ( frozen Carbon Dioxide ( CO2 )) is also used as a blasting agent where clean-up is more restrictive ( i. e. attics ) and while the dry ice blasting leaves no antimicrobial residue, it does prep the blasted surface to receive one as a secondary step.

Carbon prices are normally quoted in Euros per tonne of carbon dioxide or its equivalent ( CO < sub > 2 </ sub > e ).

The label is intended to comply with a new British Publicly Available Specification ( i. e. not a standard ), PAS 2050, and is being actively piloted by The Carbon Trust and various industrial partners.

Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent ( CO < sub > 2 </ sub > e ) and may represent six primary categories of greenhouse gases.

Carbon resistors and impurity-doped germanium resistors have been investigated for use as precision secondary thermometers in the liquid helium temperature region.

The graphite was National Carbon NC 60, which has a porosity of 50% and an average pore size of 30.

* 1986 – Carbon dioxide gas erupts from volcanic Lake Nyos in Cameroon, killing up to 1, 800 people within a 20-kilometer range.

Carbon dioxide formation can also lead to headaches and decreased muscle flexibility.

Carbon fibre has an excellent strength to weight ratio, is stiff, and gives excellent kinetic energy transfer.

Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their resemblance to geodesic spheres.

In 1939 the companies were acquired by the Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation.

Carbon ( from " coal ") is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6.

Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.

Carbon forms more compounds than any other element, with almost ten million pure organic compounds described to date, which in turn are a tiny fraction of such compounds that are theoretically possible under standard conditions.

Carbon fiber is made by pyrolysis of extruded and stretched filaments of polyacrylonitrile ( PAN ) and other organic substances.

Carbon fibers made from PAN have structure resembling narrow filaments of graphite, but thermal processing may re-order the structure into a continuous rolled sheet.

Carbon black is used as the black pigment in printing ink, artist's oil paint and water colours, carbon paper, automotive finishes, India ink and laser printer toner.

Carbon black is also used as a filler in rubber products such as tyres and in plastic compounds.

Carbon is used in chemical reduction at high temperatures.

Carbon compounds make up most of the materials used in clothing, such as natural and synthetic textiles and leather, and almost all of the interior surfaces in the built environment other than glass, stone and metal.

Carbon black was probably one of the first pigments to be used for tattooing, and Ötzi the Iceman was found to have carbon tattoos that survived during his life and for 5200 years after his death.

Carbon generally has low toxicity to almost all life on Earth ; however, to some creatures it can still be toxic – for instance, carbon nanoparticles are a deadly toxins to Drosophila.

Carbon may also burn vigorously and brightly in the presence of air at high temperatures, as in the Windscale fire, which was caused by sudden release of stored Wigner energy in the graphite core.

Carbon nanotubes ( CNTs ) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.

Carbon nanobuds are a newly created material combining two previously discovered allotropes of carbon: carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.

Carbon will yield carbon dioxide, nitrogen will yield nitrogen dioxide, sulfur will yield sulfur dioxide, and iron will yield iron ( III ) oxide.

Carbon atoms may have different numbers of neutrons ; atoms of the same element having different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes of the element.
