You can’t see it nor feel it but it is there, forever circulating in your midst while vehicles are on the go for the morning rush. This gas, the carbon monoxide gas, is primarily produced when there is an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
Carbon Monoxide gas
Azlina
When inhaled, the carbon monoxide bonds to the haemoglobin in the blood (and becomes carboxyhaemoglobin) in place of oxygen and is carried through the blood stream. This reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells and decreases the supply of oxygen to tissues and organs, especially the heart and brain. This can be a serious problem for people with cardiovascular disease. Most people in the community need to be exposed to a level of 200 ppm for several hours before they start to feel effects. Carboxyhaemoglobin formation is reversible when the person is no longer exposed to carbon monoxide.
Harmful Effects
1. Cutting pollution. In normal cars without the Surbo, which have less power and need more throttle pressure to accelerate, more fuel is pumped into the engine (as fuel pressure is proportional to throttle travel). However, the air enters the engine later than the fuel due to air filter losses. The result is much unburnt fuel going out through the exhaust. If you are behind even modern cars with your windows down, you might sometimes smell the fuel when they suddenly accelerate. A car fitted with a Surbo emits less unburnt fuel. A Surbo car can accelerate as quickly with less pressure on the throttle, meaning less fuel is put in for the same work. The Surbo enables air to come in more quickly by giving your car's air intake more air-suction power, overcoming the air filter's resistance. The result is more complete burning and lower emissions. On diesels, the Surbo cuts most of the black smoke.
