उत्तर १
Carbon monoxide, when inhaled and absorbed into the blood, binds with haemoglobin and forms an irreversible complex called carboxyhaemoglobin. The formation of this complex reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Hence, carbon monoxide is highly dangerous when inhaled.
उत्तर २
Carbon monoxide is damaging to the body because it replaces oxygen in the blood when we breathe in air. Keeping things under control. This lack of oxygen has an impact on crucial organs such as the heart, brain, and other important body parts. Inhaling significant amounts of CO can swiftly cause unconsciousness and suffocation without warning. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it binds to haemoglobin and causes a persistent oxygen deficit in the body. Clearing CO-contaminated haemoglobin (carboxyhaemoglobin) necessitates prolonged exposure to fresh air or oxygen.
