How long would it take an average adult male to die from Carbon Monoxide poisoning by charcoal burning from a small grill or something similar (as has become popular in Japan in recent years), and is there an equation for calculating this (even a rough one will do)? Note: I AM -NOT- suicidal. This is for a summer paper (fictional story) I'm writing for my psychology class, in which a character attempts to kill himself in this manner. The catch is, EVERYTHING has to be scientifically accurate, and I have to be able to prove it. Most of the story is done except for this scene's details, which is pretty much the only part I'm having trouble with. As far as other variables go, I'm going to say this is in a small room (say 6x12 ft.), with little to no ventilation. Again, I am NOT suicidal. Thanks.
