Carbon Monoxide: A Silent, Deadly Indicator of Air Pollution Carbon Monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless gas, is a byproduct of incomplete combustion processes. Indicated by the ominous presence of CO in the air, this toxic gas has claimed countless lives, from tragic domestic incidents like the asphyxiation of a mother and her three children, to frightful accidents in hospitals and beyond. The creator of the first Carbon Monoxide detector, the General Electric Company, revolutionized safety measures in the late 1950s. Yet, despite advancements, CO continues to pose a threat. In Berlin's Potzdamer Platz, an old Trabant car, with its exhaust fumes pumping out, contributes to the city's air pollution. The Cytochrome P450 complex (F006 / 9669), a vital component of our bodies, is responsible for metabolizing CO, but when levels become too high, it can lead to severe health issues. The Otto gasification unit, invented in 1897, marked a significant step in the automotive industry, but it also brought about the unintended consequence of increased CO emissions. Today, air pollution monitoring stations are crucial in detecting and addressing CO levels in our environment. As we strive for cleaner air, let us remember the importance of addressing Carbon Monoxide and other harmful pollutants.
