The deleterious effects of carbon monoxide on the human body have long been known. Recently, increasing incidence of carbon monoxide poisoning has been a serious problem since coal briquette has come into a wider use. The development of an accurate method of screening the possible cases of carbon monoxide poisoning urgently needed. Normal values of carboxyhemoglobin will be a acquired by more studies. The author reports the normal values of carboxyhemoglobin of 388 random cases of age of 20-50 in Hanyang Hospital by the Heilmyer-modified method. The results obtained are as follows: 1. In a normal individual who do not smoke, man´s average of carboxyhemoglobin saturation was 1.98±1.94%, while woman´s was 2.08±1.65%, higher than man´s. 2. In subjects who smoke, the mean value of carboxyhemoglobin was 3.84±2.75%. 3. The level of carboxyhemoglobin was slightly higher in heavy smoker than in light smoker.
