Some physiological and pathological effects of moderate carbon monoxide exposure.
TLDR
Carbon monoxide is produced from technological and natural sources in an estimated global amount of at least 250 million tons a year and fuel combustion by motor vehicles is the major source.Abstract:
Carbon monoxide is produced from technological and natural sources in an estimated global amount of at least 250 million tons a year. Fuel combustion by motor vehicles is the major source. The gas is released to the air, and since the background level does not increase it is assumed that oxidation to carbon dioxide takes place in the upper atmosphere. /Author/read more

Delayed neurologic sequelae in carbon monoxide intoxication.
TL;DR: Of 2,360 victims of acute carbon monoxide intoxication examined between 1976 and 1981, delayed neurologic sequelae were diagnosed in 65 (2.75% of the total group, 11.8% of those admitted), with the peak incidence in the sixth and seventh decades.

Smoking and myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: The prevalence of smokers prior to infarction was higher than in representative population samples and the difference decreased with increasing age, but patients generally had a somewhat more severe clinical course than those who continued to smoke.

Smoking during pregnancy: a review of effects on growth and development of offspring
TL;DR: Although there is no longer any doubt that maternal smoking is related to retarded and impaired fetal development, interpretation of these data as to causality is still controversial and the various hypotheses associated with their interpretation will be examined.

TL;DR: Analysis of data from the Ontario Perinatal Mortality Study has shown that perinatal mortality increases directly with the level of maternal smoking during pregnancy.
