If you run a car in a closed garage, It can make you pass and suffocate to death. CO, carbon monoxide is deadly. That is why most new house have CO detectors, You would feel dizzy, nausea or get a headache first.

Carbon Monoxide has an adverse effect on the inner air pockets of the lungs. By breathing in carbon monoxide it restricts the amount of air in which the many air pockets inside the lungs hold.The resulting factor is lack of oxygen in the Blood stream, will cause the individual ti become dizzy, and ultimately faint as the blood flow to the brain becomes insufficient enough to facilitate the amount of oxygen the brain requires. After fainting the victim slips into a coma and is generally fatal.
