“…are numerous. Contamination by carbon monoxide ( CO ) ( Anderson, 1971;Miller et al, 1989;Le Âvesque et al, 1990;Kwok, 1993;Lee et al, 1993;Johnson et al, 1995 ) is discussed in particular, but also nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) (Hedberg et al, 1989;Lee et al, 1993 ). Almost invariably, the source of the problem was the improper adjustment of the resurfacing machine combined with inadequate building ventilation.…”

We evaluated alveolar carbon monoxide (CO) levels of 122 male, adult hockey players active in recreational leagues of the Quebec City region (Canada), before and after 10 weekly 90-minute games in 10 different rinks. We also determined exposure by quantifying the average CO level in the rink during the games. Other variables documented included age, pulmonary function, aerobic capacity, and smoking status. Environmental concentrations varied from 1.6 to 131.5 parts per million (ppm). We examined the absorption/exposure relationship using a simple linear regression

show abstract

“…CO is a known problem in ice-skating arenas, with incidents reported in the USA and Canada over the last 40 years [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The situation in Europe seems to be less problematic, although four cases of epidemic poisoning in Finnish ice arenas were recently published [21].…”
