. In 1935, two leading scientists, J.B. S. Haldane and in J. G. Priestley, posed the following puzzle. Carbon monoxide binds to the same heme sites on hemoglobin as oxygen with an affinity 200 times as great as that for oxygen. Exposure for 1 hour to a carbon monoxide concentration of 0.1% of inspired air leads to an occupancy by CO of about 50% of the heme sites in the hemoglobin, a proportion that is frequently fatal. Yet, a person whose hemoglobin concentration is reduced to 50% due to anemia may go about work as usual. What is the key to this seeming paradox using our present day knowledge of hemoglobin?

carbon monoxide ….?

how long does it take until fatal results

    Carbon monoxide poisoning?

    My sister left the gas stove running by accident and I am really concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning, but since my sister hates going near hospitals or clinics I can’t convince her unless the amount of carbon monoxide we have been exposed to is fatal. I want to know how long you have to be exposed to carbon monoxide until it kills you?? Thanks.

    What gas law does carbon monoxide poisoning classify as?

    I didn’t really know how to word the question. I’m doing a project on carbon monoxide poisoning and mainly it’s exploring the gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’s and Gay Lussac’s [Maybe the ideal one too]).
    Is there a side where it’ll tell me or give me more information besides

    It’d be really helpful.

    CO+Hb->COHb
    this is the reaction if it helps.

    What are symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?

    My mom is a truck driver, and right now her assignment is driving a really horrible former delivery van on a carnival. She thinks she may have carbon monoxide poisoning. What sites are there where I can get information on this? She is suffering memory loss and several other things. I don’t know the det’s…my dad asked me to look it up :) thank you!

    Will the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning go away if you get away from it?

    What I mean is that I’ve been exposed to CO for awhile now and for the last week I thought I had the flu.Respiratory problems, fatigue, chest pains, ect but now I’m wondering if this could all still get worse even when away from the CO?
