CO (Carbon Monoxide) Analysis

CO (Carbon Monoxide) Analysis

Carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas, is a gas produced by the incomplete combustion of natural gas and carbon-containing materials such as gasoline, kerosene, petroleum, propane, coal or wood. Carbon monoxide measurements carried out within the scope of environmental analyzes pose a problem for many job postings.

Here are some sources of carbon monoxide:
  • boiler rooms,
  • warehouses,
  • oil refineries,
  • blast furnaces,
  • coke ovens,
  • breweries,
  • steel production,
  • Pulp and paper production,
  • Ceramics and waste management sectors
Exposure to carbon monoxide affects the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. For this reason, it causes health problems with symptoms such as headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness and nausea.

Carbon Monoxide Analysis in working environments is carried out with a detector based on the ASTM D 4490 standard. You can contact Nanolab Environmental Analysis Laboratory for Carbon Monoxide Analysis.
