• Using expired CO analysis by 20-second breath holding method, various population groups were investigated to evaluate their body burden of carbon monoxide. For urban children mean expired CO level was 2.2 ppm in autumn and 3.8 ppm in winter, and for rural children 2.8 and 6.6 ppm in the same sea-sons. For urban adult people, 10.1 ppm for male and 8.5 ppm for female, and for male smoker, ranged from 16.9 to 29.3 ppm in ascending order according to daily smoking habit. For rural inhabtants, very high CO level was found in both sexes, 16.4 and 19.0 ppm. This is due to traditional heating facilities in rural area. For urban public bus drivers and street policemen, the higher CO level was estimated, which was attributed to occupational and pollution sources.
