I am doing some air pollution research. We know how ill a person becomes with certian amounts of carbon monoxide in the blood. So the question is how much carbon monoxide is in the air outside that we breath measured in parts per million?

The first alarm point is 35 ppm. According to Osha u should be able to survive in this atmosphere for 8 hrs. I did have a job around a lot of CO2 and I wore a calibrated sensor and out side I have it Show 1 to 2 ppm. The environmentalist want u to thank that it has increased 30% well it hasn't. Granted we the world burn large amounts of fossil fuels ,where did the CO2 go. Well I have got good news I found where it is. We have a friend ,the green plants of the world they take in CO2 and put out oxygen.

The national carbon monoxide standard is 9 parts per million (ppm) averaged over an eight-hour period. For concentrations to be considered exceedances, they must be 9.5 or above (that is, they must round up to 10 ppm), which is equivalent to 101 or higher (the beginning of the unhealthy range)
