  2. Carbon monoxide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning

    Breath CO monitoring offers an alternative to pulse CO-oximetry. Carboxyhemoglobin levels have been shown to have a strong correlation with breath CO concentration. [114] [115] However, many of these devices require the user to inhale deeply and hold their breath to allow the CO in the blood to escape into the lung before the measurement can be ...

  3. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom connected by a triple bond.

  4. Brix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    Brix is used in the food industry for measuring the approximate amount of sugars in fruits, vegetables, juices, wine, soft drinks and in the starch and sugar manufacturing industry. Different countries use the scales in different industries: In brewing, the UK uses specific gravity X 1000; Europe uses Plato degrees ; and the US use a mix of ...

  5. Median lethal dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

    In toxicology, the median lethal dose, LD 50 (abbreviation for "lethal dose, 50%"), LC 50 (lethal concentration, 50%) or LCt 50 is a toxic unit that measures the lethal dose of a given substance. [1] The value of LD 50 for a substance is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration.

  6. Breath carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breath_carbon_monoxide

    Breath carbon monoxide device. Breath carbon monoxide is the level of carbon monoxide in a person's exhalation. It can be measured in a breath carbon monoxide test, generally by using a carbon monoxide breath monitor (breath CO monitor), such as for motivation and education for smoking cessation and also as a clinical aid in assessing carbon monoxide poisoning.

  7. PROX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROX

    The PROX process allows for the reaction of CO with oxygen, reducing CO concentration from approximately 0.5–1.5% in the feed gas to less than 10 ppm. 2CO + O 2 → 2CO 2 Due to the prevalent presence of hydrogen in the feed gas, the competing, undesired combustion of hydrogen will also occur to some degree:

  9. Food composition data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_composition_data

    Food composition datasets (FCDBs) or food composition tables are resources that provide detailed food composition data (FCD) on the nutritionally important components of foods. FCDBs provide values for energy and nutrients including protein , carbohydrates , fat , vitamins and minerals and for other important food components such as fibre .
