TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Seasonal variation in carbon monoxide poisoning in urban Korea JO - Journal of epidemiology and community health A1 - Kim, Young Shin SP - 79 EP - 81 VL - 39 IS - 1 N2 - Seasonal variation in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning during 1969-78 was examined using the monthly hospital admissions and environmental weather data from Seoul, Korea. The results showed that there were nine times as many cases of CO poisoning in December as in August. CO poisoning cases were significantly correlated with temperature and domestic fires but not significantly with relative humidity. The epidemiological and clinical investigation of CO poisoning in the home needs to be studied in further detail.
