Descriptor monóxido de carbono
Scope note: El monóxido de carbono (CO) es un gas tóxico, inodoro, incoloro e insípido. Se combina con la hemoglobina formando carboxihemoglobina, que no tiene capacidad transportadora de oxígeno. La falta consiguiente de oxígeno produce cefalea, mareo, disminución de la frecuencia cardiaca y respiratoria, pérdida de la conciencia y muerte. (traducción libre: Merck Index, 11th ed).
