How cancarbon monoxide kill you?
Oxygen is carried to our cells by a component of the blood called hemoglobin. It's what makes our blood red. If we do not get enough oxygen to our cells, they cannot burn glucose for energy and they die. Unfortunately for a great many people, hemoglobin likes carbon monoxide (CO) much, much more than it likes oxygen (O2). When given a choice (when we are exposed to CO in the air we breathe), it will grab hold of CO and ignore the O2. Since our cells cannot absorb the CO, it stays attached to the hemoglobin and eventually the blood becomes so saturated with CO that there is no longer room for enough O2 to support life. Incidentally, one of the major sources of CO in our environment is cigarettes. Heavy cigarette smokers often have blood that is 50% saturated with CO. In other words, their blood is only able to carry half as much oxygen as it's supposed to. Is it any wonder that smokers are chronically short of breath, or that their hearts have to work harder?

These days, with team support cars, camera motorcycles and all that, it's really not a problem. Riders are monitored from start to finish for each stage, and help is readily available from the race support crew.
What is the role of hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin refers to a protein, found in red blood cells, that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all other tissues of the body. Red blood cells circulate through the lungs and the hemoglobin in these cells pick up (bind with) oxygen. These cells carry the oxygen, in a form called oxyhemoglobin, out to the tissues and cells of the body. Once at the proper destination, the oxy hemoglobin releases the oxygen and becomes hemoglobin again. The red blood cells, carrying hemoglobin (without oxygen), circulate back to the lungs to pick up more oxygen, and the process begins again.Hemoglobin also refers to a blood test that indicates the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, and thus, how well the red blood cells are able to carry oxygen to the rest of the body
What are the effect of carbon monoxide?
When carbon monoxide enters in body it combines with haemoglobin and convert in carboxyhaemoglobin. Carbonxyhaemoglobin dinders the delivery of oxygen to body cell. This leads to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole or a part of the body is deprived od adequate oxygen supply. This condition leads to many problems like headache, dizziness, general lethargy, chest pain, sickness, diarrhoea and even cause to death.
