The following information is about Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide Defined
CO, a toxic, odorless, colorless gas produced during fossil fuel or biomass burning. Compound consisting of one carbon and one oxygen. Except for carbon dioxide, it is one of the longest lived naturally occurring atmospheric carbon compounds (this wording is meant to exclude chlorofluorocarbons). The recent change in tropospheric CO content may portend a change in the balance between oxidants and reductants in the atmosphere. [Journal of Geophysical Research;v95; 16443-16450;1990] [Scientific American;v261; 82-88;1989]

Theory Of Sun's Role In Formation Of Solar System Questioned
Published September 5, 2008, 5:31 am, Science Daily
A strange mix of oxygen found in a stony meteorite that exploded over Pueblito de Allende, Mexico nearly 40 years ago has puzzled scientists ever since. Small flecks of minerals lodged in the stone and thought to date from the beginning of the solar system have a pattern of oxygen types, or isotopes, that differs from those found in all known planetary rocks, including those from Earth, its Moon ...
Scientists Peel Away Mystery Behind Gold's Catalytic Prowess
Published September 5, 2008, 5:30 am, Science Daily
Using the world's most powerful microscopes for chemical analysis, scientists have pinpointed where the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide occurs when gold is supported on iron oxide. CO oxidation is critical to firefighters and others who wear protect masks when entering a burning building. Bilayer clusters of atoms less than a nanometer in dimension are found to be responsible for ...
Scientists peel away the mystery behind gold's catalytic prowess
Published September 4, 2008, 2:10 pm, PhysOrg
Few materials have exercised as much of a hold on the human imagination, or on human history, as has gold. But for all of its popular uses - money, medals, jewelry and more - gold's potential as a catalyst lay hidden until the 1980s, when Masatake Haruta and Graham Hutchings independently discovered that gold, which had long been considered inactive, could be an extraordinarily good catalyst. ...
