Abstract
Six healthy males were exposed to carbon monoxide concentrations ranging from 1000 ppm to 35,600 ppm for periods of controlled duration and the rate of rise of carboxyhemoglobin concentrations in blood was determined. The rate of increase was found to be accurately predicted by the relationship, log (δ% COHb/liter) equals 1.036 log (ppm CO inhaled) minus 4.4793. This relationship may be used to determine the carbon monoxide absorbed in brief exposures to high concentrations.Keywords
