Answer:
Carbon monoxide is a harmful gas that combines with haemoglobin to form a stable compound. It displaces the oxygen that is normally carried by the haemoglobin and reduces the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood by reducing the concentration of free hemoglobin in the blood.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless, odorless, and tasteless flammable gas that is slightly less dense then air. It is toxic to animals that use hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier (both invertebrate and vertebrate) when encountered in concentrations above about 35 ppm, although It is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some normal biological functions. In the atmosphere, it is spatially variable and short-lived, having a role in the formation of ground-level ozone.
