Carbon monoxide dangers [New Words]   ♧ carbon monoxide : n. 일산화탄소   ♧ odor : n. 냄새, 악취   ♧ seep : v. 서서히 침투하다, 확산하다, 퍼지다   ♧ air sac【생물】 공기주머니;【해부】 폐포(肺胞)   ♧ bind : v. 묶다, 매다, 결합하다   ♧ latch on to : v. 꽉 쥐다, 쥐고 놓지 않다, 들러붙어 떨어지지 않다   ♧ take over : v. 떠맡다, 접수하다, 인계받다   ♧ literally : ad. 글자 그대로, 사실상, 정말로   ♧ suffocate : v. 숨을 막다, 질식시키다   ♧ runny nose : n. 콧물이 흐르다   ♧ dizzy : a. 현기증 나는, 어지러운   ♧ achy : a. 아픈, 통증이 있는, 쑤시는   ♧ drowsy : a. 졸리는, 나른한   ♧ lethargic : a. 무기력한, 둔감한   ♧ slip (into) : v. 무심결에 ~하다   ♧ fatal : a. 치명적인, 죽는   ♧ the CDC : the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - (미국) 질병통제소   ♧ poisoning : n. 중독   ♧ inhale : v. 흡입하다, 빨아들이다   ♧ car fume : n. 매연   ♧ recovery : n. 회복, 완쾌   ♧ complicated : a. 복잡한, 어려운   ♧ hyperbaric chamber : n. 고압 산소실   ♧ pressurized : a. 일정 기압이 유지된           It's colorless, odorless, tasteless. It's invisible to all the human senses, but it has the power to seriously injure and even kill. Once exposed to carbon monoxide, it seeps into your lungs with every breath you take, making its deadly way into the air sacs of your lungs where it binds with hemoglobin - the red blood cells that carry oxygen through your body.   The problem is carbon monoxide latches onto hemoglobin more quickly than oxygen and it starts taking over. On the most basic of levels, your cells are literally suffocating. Within minutes, the person can feel flu symptoms such as headache, sore eyes and a runny nose. Once it attaches to ten to fifteen percent of the blood's hemoglobin, you feel dizzy, confused and achy. At thirty to forty percent, the person becomes drowsy, lethargic and slips into a coma. At sixty to seventy percent, it's fatal.   According to the CDC, about 500 people die each year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Nearly 2,000 people commit suicide using the gas often by inhaling car fumes.   Recovery can be as simple as getting away from carbon monoxide sources or as complicated as using a hyperbaric chamber to force pressurized oxygen into the body to fight poisoning.   It's hard to predict how much each person will be affected by carbon monoxide. It all depends on how much is in the air, how long and how hard someone breathe it in.
