The Effect of Carbon Monoxide Exposure on Susceptibility of Mice to Respiratory Infection with Listeria Monocytogenes

Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless nonirritating gas, is the most abundant and widely distributed air pollutant found in the lower atmosphere (15) . Emission of CO generally exceeds that of all other gaseous pollutants combined, particularly in urban atmospheres. This gas constitutes an important, world wide environmental hazard. More persons in the United States succumb each year to acute CO poisoning ( > 1000) than to any other single toxic agent except alcohol (25)
