Summary

This study looks at how low levels of carbon monoxide (CO) from smoking or the environment affect pain, senses, anxiety, and depression. Researchers will measure CO in the breath of 70 healthy adults and test their pain threshold and mood. The goal is to better understand CO's subtle effects on the body and mind.
