Description:

Air pollution is an often-cited environmental hazard in many cities of the United States. One major component of air pollution is carbon monoxide, an odorless colorless gas that is a product of incomplete combustion. It is one of the pollutants subject to control by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. National Ambient Air Qual ity Standards established by EPA allow a carbon monoxide concentration of 9 parts per million. At this concentration, 8 hours of exposure would generally result in blood carbon monoxide levels in humans greater than 1.5 percent. ; Suggested citation: National Center for Health Statistics, E.P.
