A member asked:
How long could carbon monoxide last in the system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on amount,: But, roughly one week if breathing room air, about 6-10 hours if breathing 100% oxygen, and even shorter if provided hyperbaric oxygen treatment (which is 100% oxygen at 2-3 times usual atmospheric pressure).
