Effects of Carbon Monoxide on the human body 

Even small concentrations of CO in Hemoglobin (Hb) (the active component of red blood cells 

in the human blood) can have an impact on human health. The table below shows the impact of 

increasing concentrations of COHb. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Symptoms vary widely based on exposure level, duration and the general health and age of an 

individual. The symptoms most significant in the recognition of carbon monoxide poisoning 

include: headache, dizziness and nausea. These 'flu like' symptoms are often mistaken for a real 

case of the flu and can result in delayed or misdiagnosed treatment. If you experience these 

symptoms and your CO detector alarm is sounding,  a potentially serious buildup of carbon 

monoxide exists.

Effect of Cabin Altitude on Individuals 

“Hypoxia (also known as Hypoxiation or Anoxemia) is a condition in which the body or a region 

of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply”, Wikipedia. 

% COHb

 

Effect

 

10 

No symptoms. Heavy smokers can have as much as 9% 

COHb. 

15 

Mild headache. 

25 

Nausea and serious headache. Fairly quick recovery after 

treatment with oxygen and/or fresh air. 

30 

Symptoms intensify. Potential for long term effects 

especially in the case of infants, children, the elderly, victims 

of heart disease and pregnant women. 

45 

Unconsciousness
