Carbon monoxide diffusion

Carbon monoxide diffusion refers to the process by which carbon monoxide (CO) gas spreads out in the air. When CO is released, such as from car exhaust or faulty heaters, it naturally moves from areas of higher concentration (where there is more CO) to lower concentration (where there is less CO). This movement can occur quickly due to its small size and the movement of air molecules. Understanding this process is crucial for safety, as carbon monoxide is toxic and can accumulate in enclosed spaces, posing serious health risks to humans and animals.
