Pro Tip 1/3Dangerous Gas
Monoxide compounds can be very toxic. Be aware of seriousness when discussing health and safety.
The factory was evacuated due to a carbon monoxide leak.
Pro Tip 2/3Technical Term
Used primarily in scientific and technical contexts, not in everyday conversation.
She studied the effects of nitrogen monoxide on blood vessels.
Pro Tip 3/3Prefix Importance
The prefix (like 'carbon' in carbon monoxide) is essential to identify the type of monoxide.
Hydrogen monoxide, also known as water, is vital for life.

With 'Little Accidents', I spent probably three months working with a physical therapist, just understanding, starting from square one, about the neurological makeup of what happens when you have a stroke or what carbon monoxide poisoning does to your body.

The toxic effect of carbon monoxide on man has nothing to do with inhibition of cellular respiration by carbon monoxide but is based on the reaction of carbon monoxide with blood iron.

Nest Thermostat owners like the carbon monoxide link. If Nest Protect's carbon monoxide alarm goes off, the Nest Thermostat automatically turns off the gas furnace.
