Abstract:
This study was carried out in 72 healthy adults of working age, non-smoking, and non-exposure to occupational carbon monooxide. The results showed that substances coming from factories did not pollute their indoor environment at home. The hemoglobin (Hb) contents of examined persons was within the normal range of 122-165 g/l. Average CarboxyHemoglobin (HbCO) was 0.789+/-0.382%, ranging 0.000 to 1.500%.
