Concept explainers
Carbon Monoxide Exposure When a person breathes carbon monoxide (CO), it enters the bloodstream to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which reduces the transport of oxygen to tissues. The formula given by T (x) = 0.0079x2− 1.53x + 76 approximates the number of hours T that it takes for a person's bloodstream to reach the 5% COHb level, where x is the concentration of CO in the air in parts per million (ppm) and
