Source sentences:
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin (an iron-protein component of red blood cells), producing carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which greatly diminishes hemoglobin’s oxygen-carrying capacity.
text: As CO continues to be inhaled, the percentage of COHb gets higher and higher, and you get sicker and sicker.
text: Carbon monoxide is poisonous to all warm-blooded animals (when it is inhaled and combined with hemoglobin in the blood, which prevents the absorption of oxygen) and to many other life forms.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin (an iron-protein component of red blood cells), producing carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which greatly diminishes hemoglobin’s oxygen-carrying capacity.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it passes from the lungs into the hemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it has harmful effects particularly on those working in crossroads and parking areas, which have dense traffic, and closed and poorly ventilated working environments such as car workshops.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, the CO combines with your hemoglobin to form "carboxyhemoglobin" (COHb).
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it reacts with hemoglobin, the red blood pigment that normally carries oxygen to all parts of the body.
text: Thus, when carbon monoxide is inhaled, it enters the bloodstream, binds to hemoglobin, and crowds out the oxygen molecules, thus depriving the cells of the oxygen needed to maintain their vitality.
text: This means that if both carbon monoxide and oxygen are inhaled, carbon monoxide will preferentially bind to haemoglobin.
text: When carbon monoxide is inhaled, the gas binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and prevents the cells from carrying oxygen.
