CARBON MONOXIDE
DEFINITION
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, colorless gas produced during fossil fuel or biomass burning. It is one of the longest-lived, naturally occurring atmospheric carbon compounds. The recent change in tropospheric CO content may portend a change in the balance between oxidants and reductants in the atmosphere.
