A member asked:
Can steady exposure to carbon monoxide cause respiratory problems like emphysema, copd, asthma?

CO: Carbon monoxide is lethal, you cannot have a steady exposure to it. Respiratory problem results from air pollution, no matter what kind it is.

Would never happen: Carbon monoxide has strong affinity to the hemoglobin and its diffusibility through membrane is high. Before any other condition like asthma, COPD can occur from it, a person is dead. There will be no study to prove that.
