Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas formed when substances containing carbon (such as petrol, gas, coal and wood) are burned with an insufficient supply of air. Motor vehicles are the main source of carbon monoxide pollution in urban areas.
Carbon monoxide has serious health impacts on humans and animals. When inhaled, the carbon monoxide bonds to the haemoglobin in the blood in place of oxygen to become carboxyhaemoglobin. This reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells and decreases the supply of oxygen to tissues and organs, especially the heart and brain. For people with cardiovascular disease, this can be a serious problem.
