... were analysed for respirable suspended particles (RSP, d(50) <3.5 µm), ultraviolet RSP (UY-RSP) as a marker for environmental tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nicotine. Levels of RSP were very high at several sites, varying within the ranges of 34-421 µg/m^3 in restaurants, 21-242...

...M.Y. Chan; J. Burnett; W.K. Chow An extensive survey has been carried out in 52 underground car parks in Hong Kong focusing on carbon monoxide concentrations in the air. So far as shortterm health effects are concerned this compound is generally regarded as the most important chemical species from...

...Xin-xin Li; Xiang-min Ma; Zi-zhen Dong; Ping Xie; Gang Li This report describes the surveillance over the past 8 years of carbon monoxide(CO) levels in a factory producing gas from coal. Where workers were working in areas of the factory where the air might be polluted by CO we found...

...A. Chaloulakou; A. Duci; N. Spyrellis This study is a first attempt concerning the estimation of carbon monoxide (CO) levels in enclosed parking garages in the Athens urban area. Indoor air monitoring was conducted on randomly selected days, in autumn 1999, at six downtown enclosed garages. In each...

...N. El-Hougeiri; M. El Fadel This paper presents an assessment of occupational indoor exposure to air pollutants emitted from environmental tobacco smoke in a public restaurant. Field monitoring data of carbon monoxide (CO) and total suspended particulates (TSP) levels were used to calibrate...

...Ö. Faruk Tekbaş; Songül Acar Vaizoğlu; E. Didem Evci; Bekir Yüceer; Çağatay Güler The purpose of the present study was to measure carbon monoxide (CO) levels during the operation of hot water boilers that use liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas, which are widely used in Turkey. In addition...

... and to propose measures to improve air quality. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and formaldehyde were determined simultaneously and temperature, relative humidity and noise were measured. Temperature and relative humidity were...

...E. Green; S. Short; L.K. Shuker; P.T.C. Harrison The causes and effects of exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) are well documented, and many countries maintain records of annual deaths arising from CO poisoning incidents. Many such incidents are associated with the use of badly...

...Guy Sanfaçon; Louis Jacques; Jean-Marc Leclerc; Claude Prévost A recent study conducted by the Québec Environmental Health Committee in collaboration with the Québec Poison Control Centre has shown that in Québec, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning represents an actual problem which seems...

...Sung-Ok Baek; Seung-Man Hwang; Young-Hun Moon Until recent years, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning during the winter months was one of the most serious public health problems in Korea. Its prevalence is still among the highest in the world, mainly due to the unique heating and cooking system...

...J. Manel; I. Gabrion; M.F. Raspiller; F. Flesch; E. Krencker; H. Lambert Carbon monoxide (CO) is the major cause of accidental poisoning and death due to poisoning in France even though it probably occurs less frequently today due to elimination of CO from town gas. Risk factors include a lack...

..., the concentrations of thoracic particles, lead, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide measured were potentially dangerous to health. Control of the intensity of the ventilation based only on the concentration of carbon monoxide measurements in the car parks is not sufficient to control the level...
