Explanation:
➡️ When you breathe in carbon monoxide, the CO also binds to hemoglobin. It binds so strongly that is keeps oxygen from binding as well. Over time, if you breathe enough carbon monoxide, it binds to all of the hemoglobin in your body, and you no longer have enough oxygen in your blood.

Answer:
carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. It combines with haemoglobin in red blood cells, preventingoxygen combining with the haemoglobin. This causes an increase in heart rate to compensate for the reduced amount ofoxygen carried in the blood.
