A cheap device which can indicate carbon monoxide levels in exhaust emission of internal combustion engines, and hence could be used for adjusting the engine's operating air: fuel mixture ratio, would have widespread application in garages, etc. The instrument described here is sensitive to both unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide but measures the carbon monoxide to an accuracy well within the tuning capability of most carburation systems.

Mean Concentration

The present investigation, was undertaken to test the American suggestion that the higher mean concentration of haemoglobin in males in America, compared to this country, is due to the chronic inhalation of carbon monoxide from the exhaust of closed motor cars (Price-Jones, 1931).

Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Acute carbon monoxide poisoning most commonly follows inhalation of coal gas but may also occur from internal combustion engines fumes and in burns victims. The condition must be treated with urgency. This paper describes the pathology of formation and dissociation of carboxyhaemoglobin and discusses the management including normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen. It is recommended that hyperbaric oxygenation be used where possible in acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
