Experimental Human Exposure to High Concentrations of Carbon Monoxide

A Study on Carbon Monoxide and Other Gases During the Fire Test (A-class:1st Rating ＆ B-class:1st Rating)

“…마지막으로 심각한 3단계의 50~80% COHb 농도는 실신, 발작, 혼수상태, 심혈관 중독, 호흡실 패 및 사망= 등의 더욱 심각한 증상을 발생시킨다. 한편 CO 값으로부터 체내의 % COHb를 계산하는 방법은 Corburn-Forster-Kane (CFK) 공식을 따른다 (6) . CO 2 는 CO처럼 화재시 항상 발생하며, Purser (7) 는 5% 이 하의 CO 2 가 CO만큼 유독하지는 아닐지라도 호흡을 자극 해 호흡량을 증가시킨다고 하였다.…”

A Proposal for Evaluating Human Exposure to Carbon Monoxide Contamination in Military Vehicles

“…Soldiers within enclosed vehicles may be subjected to wide extremes of CO concentrations, which are primarily due to the firing of weapons. Further, it is well documented (23,18,7,20) that the intake of CO by the human body is directly related to the amount of CO respired during the exposure period. That is, if twice the volume of air is respired (CO concentration constant), about twice as much CO will be absorbed.…”

“…I references 2, 16, 22,23,13,15,6,5). The absorption rate, which is partlh a function of the work activity level (14) of the individual, determines the content of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in the blood.…”

A carbon monoxide transport model of the human respiratory system applied to urban atmosphere exposure analysis

“…The output of an empirical model has consistency only for the conditions in which the experiment was carried out. More elaborated empirical models were proposed by Peterson and Stewart (1970) and Stewart et al (1973) for a large range of CO concentrations. The empirical models of Goldsmith, Terzaghi and Hackney (1963), Ott and Mage (1978) and Venkatram and Lough (1979) take into account CO fluctuations in urban atmospheres.…”
