It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is the simplest molecule of the oxocarbon family and generally produced due to thermal combustion. Moreover, there are numerous environmental and biological sources that generate and emit a significant amount of carbon monoxide. It is utilized in various industrial processes including synthetic chemical manufacturing and metallurgy, however, it is also a problematic air pollutant arising from industrial activities.
