carbon monoxide

What: "Carbon monoxide is like a ghost in that it's difficult to prove its presence -it's colorless, odorless, and tasteless. None of our 5 senses can detect it's presence. You have to have a detector."

What: "Carbon monoxide is poisonous as it has a higher affinity to haemoglobin(the protein that makes your blood cells red),froming carboxyhaemoglobin.In essence,carbon monoxide is like a taxi passenger that refuses to get off at his destination as he doesn't have the fee.Therefore more passengers,a.k.a oxygen molecules,cant bind with haemoglobin,so we die of suffocation,which will feel like losing consciousness.Not very painful,but it is faster."

What: "The hydrogen spectra get lost on the way, but carbon monoxide is like a lighthouse - its spectra are observed more often than those of any other molecule," Szalewicz says. "You can indirectly tell what the density of hydrogen is from the carbon monoxide spectra."

What: "When someone breathes in CARBON MONOXIDE there is a big change. Carbon monoxide is like a bully. He pushes oxygen off his seat on the bus, and will not get off, he is here for the joy ride. Because oxygen cannot get onto the bus, the cells do not get any oxygen and so cannot continue to work properly. The more carbon monoxide that is riding the hemoglobin bus the less effectively the cells can work, and they may start to die."

What: "Carbon monoxide is like a thief in the night, quietly and quickly travelling undetected through your home to replace the oxygen in your blood. It is a silent, colorless and odorless gas that is deadly. The National Safety Council estimates that 200 to 300 unintentional deaths occur each year due to carbon monoxide poisoning."

What: "For about a year when I was listening to this song I always though it was talking about suicide and killing yourself in your car and etc. But now I don't think it is. I think that the handshake of carbon monoxide is like a pact with modern society of just having a suffocating job and thinking having a quiet life by having this pretty house and this pretty garden and then thinking that everything will be alright by doing what society's expecting from you" A whole page discussing a song called "handshake of carbon monoxide"

What: "Just remember: Carbon monoxide is like airborne iocane powder and is not to be trifled with. It's like getting involved in a land war in Asia: You would never do that either."

What: "He uses the example of how carbon monoxide is like an unhealthy church culture, that as it is unnoticed, can become deadly. While he creates a convincing argument regarding the hierarchy of culture over vision, we must consider that this is sort of a "chicken and egg" scenario. Without vision of a healthy culture, the culture can by default, be toxic due to human nature. Perhaps vision is a partner with culture and not simply a by product."
