Question

beginning symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: headache dizziness nausea confusion prolonged carbon monoxide exposure can lead to unconsciousness and suffocation. running an engine in a confined area without ventilation can produce very harmful levels of carbon monoxide in a short amount of time. therefore, vehicle exhaust gasses must be extracted to the outside via exhaust hose fitted over the tail pipe(s). vehicles fitted with catalytic converters still produce lethal levels of co gas, so always connect exhaust ventilation equipment when running an engine inside the shop. if you suspect someone is experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, move them immediately to clean outside air and call 911. 2 evaluate each of the following statements. over time your body develops a natural resistance to the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. vehicles equipped with catalytic converters do not produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide gas. carbon monoxide poisoning can result in death by suffocation. carbon monoxide deprives the the heart, brain and other organs of oxygen.

Explanation:

1. The body does not develop natural resistance to carbon - monoxide poisoning as it binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen.
2. Vehicles with catalytic converters still produce harmful levels of CO gas.
3. Prolonged carbon - monoxide exposure can lead to unconsciousness and suffocation.
4. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin, preventing oxygen from binding and thus depriving organs of oxygen.

Answer:

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. True
