Actually the variation in O2 levels as controlled by the computer is not that great. Regardless it is the blood's affinity for CO that is the danger and CO levels way lower than can be minimally produced by an internal combustion engine are sufficient to kill after prolonged exposure. The key is time. I should also mention that CO is heavier than O2 so the atmosphere at the bottom of the rat hole will be have increasingly concentrated CO levels. If all else fails the critter will have one h*ll of a head ache. actually, carbon monoxide, at mol wt 28 (same as N2) is slightly lighter than air (avg formula wt approx 30). and there have been a number of documented human survivors from failed CO suicide attempts because the engines shut down before the air in the garage became lethal. and cigarette smokers frequently tolerate levels of carboxy hemoglobin that would debilitate folks who didn't smoke. ck -- country doc in louisiana (no fancy sayings right now) |
