Answer:

Carbon monoxide poisoning is caused by inhaling combustion fumes. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air you're breathing, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This prevents oxygen from reaching your tissues and organs.

Answer:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.

Although it has no detectable odor, CO is often mixed with other gases that do

have an odor. So, you can inhale carbon monoxide right along with gases that you

can smell and not even know that CO is present.

CO is a common industrial hazard resulting from the incomplete burning of material

containing carbon such as natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, coal, or

wood. Forges, blast furnaces and coke ovens produce CO, but one of the most

common sources of exposure in the workplace is the internal combustion engine.
