hiiii

your answer is here !

Explanation:

Both Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are emitted during the combustion of various fuels. Carbon monoxide is toxic in nature whereas carbon-dioxide is non- poisonous in nature.

Carbon monoxide is deemed toxic since it forms a complex with

hemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), which is more stable than the oxygen-hemoglobin complex. A range of 3–4% of carboxyhemoglobin can decrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of our blood. This can result in weak eyesight, headaches, cardiovascular disorders and nervousness. A little increase over the above concentration can even be fatal.

Carbon dioxide is harmful only at very high concentrations.
