Dubai, UAE - SET have talked about the environmental impact of food waste and the gasses that are produced, it’s important to touch upon the dangerous chemicals that are being released into the air from human-caused pollution. These gasses have a range of health implications as well as making living spaces unbearable and unpleasant. The risk that these gasses pose to children and other members of society is also greater when they are being exposed to these chemicals. Carbon Monoxide or CO is one of the more toxic gasses that is produced or is a by-product of a range of human pollution sources.

CO can be omitted by welding, cigarettes, portable generators, cars & vehicles, kilns and boilers as well as other primary sources. This gas when omitted can cause CO poisoning which has a range of symptoms (similar to that of the flu.) These include fatigue, nausea, breathlessness and visual problems. Extended exposure to CO gas due to the CO gas being dispensed into an unventilated area can even cause fatalities so this is a very dangerous gas. Identifying the sources of CO gas and understanding these sources is a great way for us to reflect on the issues of CO gas well as create a solution to dealing with this potentially deadly problem.

One of the more common sources of CO gas occurs from the incomplete combustion of organic fossil fuels. These include coal, gas and oil and this is also responsible for many cases of non-fatal exposure to CO. Usually, the combustion process releases C02 as a by-product when oxygen is added to the fossil fuel. If there is a lack of aid in the combustion process then Carbon Monoxide can also be produced. Another common source of CO gas could be a faulty appliance and this generates CO gas in a similar fashion. Other potential sources of CO gas include broken appliances, extensions that reduce ventilation, having dangerously installed heater appliances as well as using heaters or barbecues indoors.
