monoxide

His team of engineers set to work on a new device, a combination smoke and carbon-monoxide detector.

For example, research has shown that most carbon-monoxide alarm incidents are triggered by a malfunctioning furnace.

The blood is, however, never saturated with carbon monoxide, for the animal dies long before this takes place.

The detection in air, if the carbon monoxide is in any quantity, is easy enough; but traces of carbon monoxide are difficult.

Such a solution is an absorbent of carbon monoxide; it also absorbs ethylene and acetylene.

A “smoky” chimney or a defective flue will therefore introduce carbon monoxide into living-rooms.

Poisoning by coal gas is practically poisoning by carbon monoxide.
