	==Environmental Effects==		==Environmental Effects==
	On a global scale, carbon monoxide does not have a significant environmental effect. However, near the site of emission carbon monoxide can react with other air [[pollutant]]s. When this reaction occurs, there is the potential for harmful ground level [[ozone]] to be formed.<ref>SEPA (July 20, 2015). ''Pollutant Fact Sheet: Carbon Monoxide'' [Online].

	One of the more significant effects carbon monoxide has is its effect on living organisms. Because of the way carbon monoxide reduces the body's ability to transport [[oxygen]], exposure to it is harmful. There have been recent attempts to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide that is released into the atmosphere by improving industrial furnace operation and encouraging reduction through restrictions. ~~Because of this,~~ carbon monoxide emissions ~~have decreased~~ over ~~the~~ years.<ref>US EPA.

	Carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous to human health if ~~it is~~ inhaled. ~~This is because it~~ reduces the body's ability to carry oxygen in the blood.<ref name="RE1"/> Depending on levels of exposure, the health effects of carbon monoxide can differ. At low levels of exposure carbon monoxide may cause headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, or impaired motor functions (which could result in difficulty walking).<ref name="RE1"/> At high levels or long exposure time, carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, chest pain, blurred vision, and difficulty thinking.<ref name="RE1"/> Finally, at very high levels exposure to carbon monoxide can result in convulsions, coma, or even death.<ref name="RE1"/>		Carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous to human health if inhaled.

	Although carbon monoxide is harmful, it is easy to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure in the home. First, carbon monoxide detectors can be installed to warn homeowners about harmful CO levels. These detectors should be placed in hallways outside bedrooms so that they can be heard at night when people sleep. If the alarm sounds, it is important to leave the home right away. ~~As well, maintenance~~ of fuel-burning appliances reduces the risk that carbon monoxide will ~~even~~ enter the home. Ensure that furnaces, fireplaces, and gas stoves are well maintained. ~~As well~~, never ~~use outdoor equipment~~ inside. Appliances like barbecues, fuel-burning camping equipment, or power generators should not be used in the home, garage, vehicle, camper, or tent. Finally, do not let vehicles idle inside of the garage even if the door is open.<ref name="RE1"/>		Although carbon monoxide is harmful, it is easy to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure in the home.
