Answer:

CO - carbon monoxide and CO2 - carbon dioxide are often confused. While the names sound similar they are completely different gases with entirely different makeups. While both are colorless, odorless and tasteless gases and have the word "carbon" in their name they are not the same. The biggest difference is that CO2 is a common, naturally occurring gas found everyday from decaying plant and animal life as well as geothermic activity. CO is not common. It is a byproduct of the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas

About Carbon Monoxide

CO is almost entirely a man-made gas that is not normally found in the earth's atmosphere.
CO is produced at dangerous levels by oxygen-starved combustion in improperly ventilated fuel-burning appliances such as generators, oil and gas furnaces, gas water heaters, gas ovens, gas or kerosene space heaters, fireplaces, and stoves
The highest CO emissions are produced at dangerous levels by internal combustion engines

About Carbon Dioxide

CO2 is a common gas in the atmosphere and is required for plant life
CO2 is a natural byproduct of human and animal respiration, fermentation, chemical reactions, and the decomposition of plant and animal life.
The gas is normally measured at approximately 400 ppm (parts per million).
CO2 is non-flammable, with no explosive properties
CO2 poisoning is rare; however scuba divers have to watch out for it (the bends)
Leaking pressurized CO2 tanks in enclosed areas can be dangerous for occupants - both from high levels of CO2 and from lower levels of oxygen (O2 displacement / Asphyxiation)
