The toxic effect of carbon monoxide on man has nothing to do with inhibition of cellular respiration by carbon monoxide but is based on the reaction of carbon monoxide with blood iron.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Decades of scientific research has proven that carbon pollution is harmful to human health and causes global warming.
Organisms don't think of CO2 as a poison. Plants and organisms that make shells, coral, think of it as a building block.
When we breathe it in, soot can interfere with our lungs and increase the risk of asthma attacks, lung cancer and even premature death. The smallest particles can pass into the blood stream and cause heart disease, stroke and reproductive complications.
Catalytic oxidation in living substances rests upon change of valency in an iron compound which is the respiratory oxygen-transferring ferment.
The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-documented.
Activating oxygen can produce compounds called radicals that put oxidative stress on cells. Such stress could ultimately lead to cancer and other diseases.
It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
There is a majority of scientists that say that global carbon emissions by humans causes some changes in the climate.
The relationship between carbon consumption and human well-being is causal, not coincidental.
Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful. It is part of Earth's life cycle.
