Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that is released when organic materials burn. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common type of fatal inhalation poisoning in the United States and worldwide. When CO is present in the body, the blood holds less oxygen and releases little of what it does hold to tissues.
