Project Development

1. Our team Chemical Device The use of a CO Detection and Ventilation System is an important device which can potentially save one’s life. The CO device can detect carbon monoxide in the atmosphere which is dangerous when inhaled.   Problem CO will bind to haemoglobin found in red blood cell. This decreases the amount of oxygen which haemoglobin can be binded to, thus humans will face difficulty breathing when breathed in too much CO. When CO is bind with haemoglobin, this reaction is non-reversible. Therefore, when breathe in too much CO, one may lose consciousness and die due to lack of oxygen. CO can be produced easily, even at homes. Some common sources which produce CO are clothes dryer, water heaters, boilers, fireplace, gas stoves, ovens, motor vehicles and tobacco smoke. Furthermore, since CO has no odour, colour or taste it cannot be detected by our naked eye or by our senses. This means that dangerous concentrations of the gas can build up indoors and humans have no way ...
