Within recent years there has accumulated much experimental data concerning the action of CO on physiological phenomena and especially on the respiration of various types of tissues and cells (Warburg, '27 ; Runnstrom, '28, '30; Fenn and Cobb, '32 a, '32 b ; Schmitt and Scott, '34, etc.
This work followed the discovery by Fenn and Cobb ( '32) that amphibian skeletal and heart muscles exhibited a greatly increased respiratory rate in the presence of a mixture of 7970 carbon monoxide and 21% oxygen as compared to the corresponding rate in air. Further evidence was presented to show t
The acute effects of carbon monoxide (CO) on cardiac metabolism at the mitochondrial level were investigated. Rats were exposed to 4% CO for 4 minutes in a closed chamber. Immediately after exposure, hearts were removed and frozen with a precooled clamp. Blood from the thoracic cavity was sampled fo
Simultaneous measurements of CO and respirable particles (RP) at outdoor network stations and of personal exposure in a sample of twelve volunteers were carried out during the winter and summer season of 1980/81 in order to evaluate how well personal exposure can be assessed from outdoor network sta
