What does carbon monoxide do to your circulatory system?
Carbon monoxide affects the circulatory system in a detrimental manner. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can be lethal for individuals. People have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
How does carbon monoxide behave as a toxic gas?
Carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Haemoglobin in your blood is not a stable compound, such that it can transport oxygen around your body. What carbon monoxide does is to react with the haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which is a stable compound, and you wouldn't get enough oxygen, which then you die of asphyxiation (if I didn't forget anything).
Why is carbon monoxide especially dangeruos?
It bonds with the haemoglobin in the red bloodcells thus reducig their capacity to carry oxygen around the bloodstream dramatically. Therefore if you breath in carbon monoxide in significant concentrations you asphyxiate and die.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that comes from the incomplete combustion of an organic compound, such as methane, propane, tobacco, and gasoline. If a person is exposed to high concentrations of CO in an enclosed area he/she could die.

What gases are in car exhaust fumes?
Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide are contained in car exhaust fumes. Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that if too much is breathed in, you die.
How does carbon monoxide affect oxygen saturation?
The problem with carbon monoxide is that haemoglobin would much rather take it up than oxygen. In fact, haemoglobin has a 500 times greater affinity for carbon monoxide than with oxygen. Without oxygen being transported to our cells, respiration ceases and basic metabolic reactions in our body stop, and we quickly die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
What will happen when a person breathe in too much carbon monoxide?
They will die
