Table 3-1. Carbon Monoxide Exposures and Carboxyhemoglobin Levels Associated with Health Effects from Selected Studies Representing the Lowest Adverse Effect Levels

The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of carbon monoxide. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health.
