Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.30NP

Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding sites on the transport protein hemoglobin. CO can be poisonous if inhaled in large quantities. A safe level of CO in air is 50. parts per million (ppm). When the CO level increases to 800. ppm, dizziness, nausea, and unconsciousness occur, followed by death. Assuming the partial pressure of oxygen in air at sea level is 0.20 atm, what proportion of CO to O 2 is fatal?
