Car exahust has a lot more to it than just CO, the more carcinogenic elements in it being stuff like Benzene and 1:3 Butadiene also small quantities of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and more recently Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) are generated.
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after the inhalation of carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a product of combustion of organic matter under conditions of restricted oxygen supply, which prevents complete oxidation to carbon dioxide (CO2).
Basically the CO causes your bodies way of processing oxygen to fail and the CO2 kills you.
Perhaps you would like to test this theory out for us Nic?
