Mildly toxic by inhalation in humans but has caused many fatalities. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Human systemic effects by inhalation: changes in psychophysiological tests and methemoglobinemia-carboxyhemoglobinemia. Can cause asphyxiation by preventing hemoglobin from binding oxygen. After removal from exposure, the half-life of elimination from the blood is one hour. Chronic exposure effects can occur at lower concentrations. A common air contaminant. Acute cases of poisoning resulting from brief exposures to high concentrations seldom result in any permanent disability if recovery takes place. Chronic effects as the result of repeated exposure to lower concentrations have been described, particularly in the Scandinavian literature. Auditory disturbances and contraction of the visual fields have been demonstrated. Glycosuria does occur, and heart irregularities have been reported. Other workers have found that where the poisoning has been relatively long and severe, cerebral congestion and edema may occur, resulting in long-lasting mental or nervous damage. Repeated exposure to low concentration of the gas, up to 100 ppm in air, is generally believed to cause no signs of poisoning or permanent damage. Industrially, sequelae are rare, as exposure, though often severe, is usually brief. It is a common air contaminant.A dangerous fire hazard when exposed to flame. Severe explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Violent or explosive reaction on contact with bromine trifluoride, bromine pentafluoride, chlorine dioxide, or peroxodisulfuryl difluoride. Mixture of liquid CO with liquid O2 is explosive. Reacts with sodium or potassium to form explosive products sensitive to shock, heat, or contact with water. Mixture with copper powder + copper(II) perchlorate + water forms an explosive complex. Mixture of liquid CO with liquid dinitrogen oxide is a rocket propellant combination. Ignites on warming with iodine heptafluoride. Ignites on contact with cesium oxide + water. Potentially explosive reaction with iron(III) oxide between 0° and 150°C. Exothermic reaction with CIF3, (Li + H2O), NF3, OF2, (K + O2), Ag2O, (Na + NH3). To fight fire, stop flow of gas.Analytical Methods: For occupational chemical analysis use NIOSH: Carbon Monoxide S340.
