Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A colourless and odourless gas ..., which is formed in the incomplete combustion of carbon or carbon compounds, [and which] is very poisonous, forming a very stable complex with haemoglobin ...  6, record 1, English, - carbon%20monoxide

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Carbon monoxide is formed through incomplete oxidation of carbon. It has a 5-month residence time in the atmosphere, where its concentration is increasing from 0.8% to 1.5% per year. About three-quarters of the present global emission of 1 billion metric tons of carbon as carbon monoxide results from human activity. Forest clearing in the tropics accounts for about 15% (160 million metric tons), and the burning of savanna for agricultural purposes adds another 10% ... The principal natural sources of carbon monoxide include the oceans, plant emissions, and photochemical oxidation of natural non-methane hydrocarbons in the atmosphere (240 million metric tons).  7, record 1, English, - carbon%20monoxide

Le monoxyde de carbone est un gaz dit «sans effet de serre» puisqu'il n'a pas d'effet radiatif direct; son rôle cependant, puisqu'il a des effets radiatifs indirects importants, est considérable dans le réchauffement climatique.  5, record 1, French, - monoxyde%20de%20carbone
