AB Carbon  monoxide  is  a  colorless,  odorless,  nonirritating  gas  that  displaces  oxygen  from  hemoglobin,  resulting  in  early  tissue  hypoxia  and  delayed  neurologic  damage.  Sources  of  exposure  to  carbon  monoxide  include  the  incomplete  combustion  of  any  carbonaceous  fuel  (eg,  gasoline,  kerosene,  natural  gas,  and  charcoal)  or  the  metabolism  of  inhaled  methylene  chloride  (paint  stripper).
