formic acid and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

formic acid has been researched along with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in 6 studies

formic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
formic acid : The simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. Induces severe metabolic acidosis and ocular injury in human subjects.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Toxic asphyxiation due to the displacement of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin by carbon monoxide.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Formic acid is a highly fatal source of carbon monoxide poisoning when mixed with sulfuric acid."7.74Formic acid: a rare but deadly source of carbon monoxide poisoning. ( Ger, J; Li, CF; Yang, CC, 2008)
"Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas, while hydrogen sulfide has a characteristic rotten eggs odor, so the risks associated with carbon monoxide are potentially greater due to lack of an important warning signal."5.40Suicidal carbon monoxide poisoning by combining formic acid and sulfuric acid within a confined space.
