[Stoves] CO- and Oxygen-affinity to haemoglobine

[veenu joon]

Dear stovers
Yes our bodies do produce some CO. But there are no visible symptoms of CO
poisning for this small amount. We lack good literature on chronic exposure
to small doses of CO on our bodies.  CO endogenous production results in a
blood COHb% levels of 0.4-0.9% in a healthy unexposed person (Marks et al.,
2002; Widdop, 2002).
