Carbon Monoxide
A colorless, odorless gas that is produced when carbon-containing fuels are burned. Sometimes referred to as carbon oxide, it is made when there is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
Carbon Monoxide: A colorless, odorless, poisonous gas produced by incomplete fossil fuel combustion.
Carcinogen: Any substance that can cause or aggravate cancer.
Carbon Monoxide
A highly poisonous gas produced when fuel is burnt. It is mainly emitted from car exhausts.
Catalytic Converters
A filter fitted to car exhausts to help remove pollution.
Carbon monoxide - a colourless, odourless and highly toxic gas commonly created during combustion.
Carbon neutral - a company, person or action either not producing any carbon emissions or if it does have been offsett elsewhere.
Carbon monoxide A colorless, odorless gas formed by incomplete combustion of carbon or a material relating to, containing or composed of carbon material.
Carbon Monoxide - CO, a toxic, odorless, colorless gas produced during fossil fuel or biomass burning. Compound consisting of one carbon and one oxygen.
Carbon monoxide
A very poisonous, colorless and odorless gas formed when carbon-containing matter burns incompletely, as in automobile engines or in charcoal grills used indoors without proper ventilation.
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) ...
Carbon Monoxide (CO): A colorless, odorless gas resulting from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. CO interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen to the body's tissues and results in numerous adverse health effects.
C carbon monoxide
Definition (english only)
Colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-corrosive, highly poisonous gas of about the same density as that of air. Very flammable, burning in air with bright blue flame.
Carbon monoxide (CO), which is primarily emitted from combustion process, particularly from petrol vehicle exhausts due to incomplete combustion; the highest concentrations are generally found at roadside locations - more at signal light junctions.
A mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) which is the product of high temperature gasification of organic material such as biomass.
Criteria Pollutant -- Any air pollutant for which EPA has established a National Ambient Ait Quality Standard: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulates and sulfur oxides.
greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, ammonia, nitric acid, nitrous oxide, ethylene, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, dichlorofluoromethane or Freon 12, trichlorofluoromethane or Freon 11, methyl chloride, carbon monoxide, ...
Leaf smoke may also contain hazardous chemicals such as carbon monoxide, which can bind with hemoglobin in the bloodstream and reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood and lungs.
‘P-450’ refers to the observation that a solution of this enzyme exposed to carbon monoxide strongly absorbs light at a wavelength of 450nm compared with the unexposed solution, ...

A standard for automobile emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions to be met at a low temperature (i.e. 20 degrees Fahrenheit). Conventional automobile catalytic converters are not efficient in cold weather until they warm up.
Air pollution caused by emissions of particulate matter, carbon monoxide, total suspended particulates, and polycyclic organic matter from wood-burning stoves.

Air Emissions: Gas emitted into the air from industrial and chemical processes, such as ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and others.
Concentration
The relative amount of a substance mixed with another substance. An example is five parts per million of carbon monoxide in air or 1 milligram/liter of iron in water.
Mixture of gasoline and ethanol derived from fermented agricultural products containing at least nine percent ethanol. Gasohol emissions contain less carbon monoxide than those from gasoline.
Gasification ...
oxygenated fuel Gasoline that has been blended with alcohols or ethers that contain oxygen in order to reduce carbon monoxide and other emissions.
