Carbon monoxide is not just a toxicology problem; it is a societal problem. Providing an overview of this widely diverse field in a single volume, this book presents state-of-the-art information along with in-depth review and discussion from international experts.

The text offers a repository of reference data sources that are widely used in the industry. Topics covered range from engineering, epidemiology, information technology, toxicology, and emergency medicine to the latest high tech scanning approaches, diagnosis, rehabilitation, economics, and the law.

Edited by a leading expert, this book delineates the successful means to prevent, identify, and manage the effects of CO poisoning. It provides new information on CO toxicity, including rehabilitation, the dissemination of information to the public, litigation involving CO poisoning, economic loss assessment, and firefighting.

The book addresses the pros and cons of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and thoroughly reviews the physiological effects of acute and long term exposure to CO, as well as the neurocognitive and neurobehavioral sequelae.

The only comprehensive reference on the subject, this multi-faceted guide takes an innovative look at how to identify, treat, and prevent harmful exposure to carbon monoxide and takes a critical look at the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in decreasing the damage caused by CO poisoning.

Features:

  • illustrates the use of new scanning techniques in revealing damage from CO poisoning
  • presents new data related to persistent health damage caused by chronic CO exposure
  • dispels common misconceptions about how long CO stays in the body, its effects, and how it can be treated
