A new and efficient way of detecting CO exposure
Abstract
Working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, this research project will aim to identify, via a Proof-of-Concept model, a new biomarker for Carbon Monoxide (CO) exposure that is sensitive to lower exposures, persists in biofluids for longer than Carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb), and can be measured using a Lateral Flow Test (LFT). Alongside this research, the project will also carry out engagement with local communities in an information campaign and determine their attitude to a LFT for CO exposure.
