उत्तर
- Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas which binds with haemoglobin of the blood more readily than oxygen to form carboxyhaemoglobin.
- The presence of CO, therefore, reduces the amount of haemoglobin available in the blood for the transport of oxygen to the body cells.
- The harmful effects of inhaling an increased amount of CO include giddiness, exhaustion, weak eyesight, headache, nervousness and cardiovascular disorders.
