Answer:
Explanation:
carbon monoxide has a strong affinity for oxygen. If inhaled , it forms a stable compound with the oxygen in the blood of the body - carboxyhaemoglobin. This compound reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood to a great extent, a condition known as carbon monoxide poisoning. This is extremely fatal and can cause death due to lack of oxygen in the body.
