Carbon monoxide gas is more dangerous than carbon dioxide gas. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Carbon monoxide (CO) when inhaled reacts with haemoglobin (Hb) to form complex carboxy haemoglobin (CoHb). The compound formed is not in a position to transport the inhaled oxygen to the various parts of the body. On the other hand, the presence of carbon dioxide can lead only to green house effect causing global warming.
