BBC Television English 1987, Part 4, p. 63 The data in this book are based on over 30 years of Framingham Heart Study data. According to the latest research from the London Hazards Center Trust, regular carbon monoxide inhalation contributes to the destruction of brain cells, because. hemoglobin (a substance that carries oxygen to the cells of the body and is contained in red blood cells) begins to partially replace oxygen with carbon monoxide and transfer it to the cells. As a result of this process, brain cells receive oxygen, firstly, less than necessary, which leads to a decrease in mental activity, and, secondly, they are poisoned by this poison, as a result of which they die. And brain cells, as you know, are not restored. The danger of carbon monoxide is evidenced by the fact that when this poison is inhaled in large quantities (for example, when being indoors during a fire), death from suffocation and poisoning of the body occurs.
