GESI - Carbon Monoxide

Because it’s colourless, odourless and tasteless, the "silent killer" is the most common type of fatal poisoning in many parts of the world. Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds. It’s often produced by internal-combustion engines, when there is less oxygen present during the combustion. It`s dangerous because it affects your body’s ability to absorb oxygen, and CO poisoning can have lethal results. It’s also a major contributor towards the formation of smog.
