Toxic gas 'helps lung patients'

[Setarime]

A toxic gas could improve the lives of patients with serious lung conditions, scientists suggest.
Carbon monoxide - found in car exhausts and produced by faulty heaters - causes more than 50 deaths a year in the UK.

Dutch researchers, reports New Scientist magazine, believe at very low doses, it could relieve asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

However, a second specialist says he has serious doubts about its safety as a treatment.
