Toxicological Evaluation of Carbon Monoxide in Humans and Other Mammalian Species
Abstract
The work reviewed is an effort toward defining safe levels for carbon monoxide. In general, carbon monoxide was evaluated from three different approaches, and a relative paucity of detrimental effects were found under low level exposure conditions, both acute and chronic. Exposure to relatively high levels of CO (460 and 575 mg/cu m) for 168 days had no apparent effect on animal survivability, growth rates or clinical chemistry and failed to produce pathologic changes in the CNS.
