CH2(S) + CO -> CH2 + CO

SOURCE:

The quenching route of this reaction was taken as 30% of the average rate of Langford et al. (1983) and Ashfold et al. (1981), the correction accounting for our assumption that 70% of the observed removal of singlet methylene is due to oxirane formation that should be reversible at higher temperatures.
