Carbon Monoxide forms a stable compound with haemoglobin i.e. Carboxyhaemoglobin and this compound does not break at all...... Thus slowly and steadily it forms this compound with each and every cell of blood and due to this oxygen is not taken by the blood from the lungs to different parts of the body. Due to which we feel fatigue and slowly slowly people dies

Carbon monoxide is the air pollutants most toxic. When inhaled, carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin in the blood. Carboxyhaemoglobine is unable to hold oxygen. This causes an oxygen shortage in the tissues leading to suffocation and even death.
Despite of this, it is not advisable to sleep on a cold, wintry night in a closed room with a coal fired fire place inside. No fresh air is allowed into the room when the door is locked. Initial charcoal burning will consume whatever oxygen in the room.
