title: [CO-pollution, a health risk in Geneva?].
abstract: The results from CO measurements at different locations in Geneva show that the highest levels are found in streets in the center of the city. An evaluation of the medical risks is performed against the most sensitive criteria--effects on the central nervous system, the cardiac muscle and the fetus. It is concluded that symptoms of anoxia may develop among persons with existing cardiovascular diseases.
