How do carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide differ?
Carbon dioxide is Co2, while carbon monoxide is minus a oxygen atom and is CO. Carbon monoxide is also ten times more toxic than carbon dioxide.
Is the carbon monoxide phenols?
No because Phenol is organic compound while carbon monoxide is inorganiccompound. Molecular formula of Phenol is : C6H5OH while CO is forcarbon monoxide. Dr.Chandramauly Sharma
What is best protection against carbon monoxide while boating?

Does carbon monoxide bond to hemoglobin more effectively then oxygen does?
Yes - haemoglobin has a higher affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This means that it will bind to carbon monoxide in preference.The binding of carbon monoxide at one site of the haemoglobin increases the affinity for oxygen at the other 3 sites - which may cause problems as the oxygen is not released when it should be.Yes, irreversible while with oxygen reversibleYes, that's why you suffocate if you get stuck in a car with the exhaust coming in. The Carbon Monoxide sticks to your haemoglobin so the oxygen cannot.
