...been generally taken for granted that the carbon monoxide in the air would disappear when diesel engines were replaced with atomic reactors, said Dr. Dobbins. Not so; the monoxide danger has become worse. Reason: while the diesel sub had to have fresh outside air blown through on an average of every twelve hours, the atomic sub uses its original quota of air as long as it stays down. And that air is fouled by crew members' smoking, which in time can produce a higher monoxide level than did the old diesels. Both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide must...
Tides & Tables. With the U.S. yearning for spring, the storm was of the crudest kind. Electrical failures shut off the power in more than 1,500,000 homes and institutions. More than a dozen people in Maryland were poisoned by carbon monoxide when they tried to cook indoors on charcoal burners. Families on New Jersey's shore had to leave their homes as high tides rammed the coast. In Sag Harbor, N.Y., an 82-year-old man left his house to seek help, drowned in tidewater in his own front yard...

The scientists made their elaborate observations-the purpose of the expedition-and everything seemed to be going line when Seismologist Geoffrey Pratt suddenly collapsed. His face was bright pink with carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of the Sno-Cat that he had been driving. Fuchs radioed for help and Rear Admiral George J. Dufek, U.S. Antarctic leader at McMurdo Sound, sent two Navy Neptunes with oxygen and British Physiologist Griffiths Pugh...
