The objective of this research was evaluate how people suffering from anemia are affected by different scenarios of carbon monoxide intoxication. Since CO is the main poluant in big cities, that's an important issue. The study focused in destroyed exergy and exergy efficiency of lungs, which were evaluated under various percentages of carbon monoxide intoxication and in two different altitudes. Results indicate that the increase in the intoxication of carbon monoxide always decreases the exergy efficiency. Moreover, the higher the level of pathology associated with anemia the higher is the destroyed exergy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
