چکیده

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless ubiquitous poisonous gas produced by natural and anthropogenic activities. In developed countries there is a positive association between daily fluctuations in nonaccidental mortality and ambient CO at low concentrations (0.5 6.1 PPM). In developing countries CO toxicity may be a more serious problems because it is enhanced by higher CO concentrations, undernourishment of the population, rapid urban growth and land-use changes. RESUME : Le monoxide de carbone ( CO) est un gaz toxique, incolore et inodore, que l’on trouve partout, et qui est produit par des activités naturelles et anthropogéniques. Dans les pays développés, il existe un lien positif entre les fluctuations journalières de la mortalité non accidentelle et la présence ambiante de CO à de faibles concentrations ( 0,5 – 6,1 ppm). Dans les pays en développement, la toxicité du CO peut devenir un problème plus sérieux parce qu’elle est aggravée par des concentrations de CO plus fortes, ainsi que par la sous-alimentation, la forte croissance urbaine et les modifications qui interviennent dans l’occupation du sol.
