Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations. Every year‚ at least 430 people die in the U. S. from accidental CO poisoning. It is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities. In the atmosphere‚ it has a role in the formation of ground-level ozone. Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom‚ connected by a triple

TUTOR: Stuart Allan WORD COUNT: 1‚891 Carbon fibre is a strong‚ yet light‚ reinforced polymer. Carbon fibres are used in applications where high strength and light weight are required. Carbon fibres can also be easily moulded into the desired shape. They are also chemically inert‚ resistant to heat‚ and do not expand under changing temperatures. Machining of carbon fibre materials can generate airborne particles. The potential health effects of these particles have been widely debated

Carbon-14 Dating: An Invaluable Yardstick in the Chronology of Humans Archaeologists utilize several methods to analyze data from the past. One scientific tool helps to analyze the radioactive decay of chemical elements found in plant and animal remains‚ pottery‚ and even rocks. Radiocarbon dating‚ also known as carbon-14 dating‚ has developed into one of the most important radioisotope dating methods archaeologists employ. This scientific tool‚ first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late
