Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide, formed by incomplete combustion of fuels, is a major source of pollution.
Harmful effects of carbon monoxide
➡️ Carbon monoxide, when inhaled, passes through the lungs into the blood. It combines with the haemoglobin (in the blood) to form a complex substance known as carboxy haemoglobin. This complex is unable to transport oxygen to various parts of the body. This causes suffocation and ultimately death.
➡️ A high concentration of carbon monoxide in air affects the growth of plants causing the leaves to drop. It is worthwhile to note here that another well-known gas, carbon dioxide, when present in excess, also causes pollution of air.
