A member asked:
Help please? how much carbon monoxide does it take to harm the human body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are exposure limits for carbon monoxide - 35 ppm, but individuals can be effected differently. Look here for more information - http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaqs/TF.asp?id=1163&tid=253. The important thing to keep in mind is that effects are temporary.
