Why is carbon monoxide present in car exhaust fumes?
Carbon monoxide consists of a single carbon atom and a single oxygen atom linked together (CO), and is the product of incomplete combustion of fuel. Most Carbon monoxide is produced when air-to-fuel ratios are too low in the engine during vehicle starting or when the vehicle isnt tuned properly, and at higher altitudes, where thin air reduces the amount of oxygen available for combustion.
