Answer 2

Answer:

• YES!

Explanation:

• Carbon monoxide is produced due to incomplete combustion, metallurgical operations and naturally by plants as well  as animals.
• Carbon monoxide has 200 times more affinity to haemoglobin as compared to oxygen.
• Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin of blood and forms a stable compound called carboxyhaemoglobin.
• At 50 ppm, CO converts 7.5% of haemoglobin into carboxyhaemoglobin  within  8  hours.  
• It  impairs  oxygen  transport resulting in headache, decreased vision, cardiovascular malfunction and asphyxia.
