Biologically, no. It's very toxic because while carbon dioxide and oxygen are able to release themselves from haemoglobin (otherwise there wouldn't be much gaseous exchange) carbon monoxide, doesn't. After breathing enough of it, too many red blood lose their transporting function and people die from asfixiation.

Why is carbon monoxide an air pollutant?
it make humans and animals ill!
Carbon Monoxide alarms are designed to detect which gas?
Carbon Monoxide alarms are designed to detect Carbon Monoxide gas. The gas has no odor or color and is undetectable to humans until the effects have already taken hold.
Does trees absorb carbon monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide: is a colorless, odorless, tastless gas that when inhaled is toxic to humans. Carbon Monoxide: is a byproduct of a rich mixture fire, Burning wood, Gas fires, etc. Your answer is No! Trees use Carbon Dioxide which is what you release when you exhale. So-Live long.
Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
Is carbon monoxide c02?
no that is carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide is CO
What happens to carborn monoxide after humans release it?
Humans do NOT release carbon monoxide ... it is the product of incomplete combustion (something you are not guilty of). And ... carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide (slowly) just by the presence of free oxygen.
What gases are caused by humans?

Which two gases in exhaust fumes are harmful for humans?
The two gases in exhaust fumes that are harmful to humans are carbon monoxide and nitrogen. Nitrogen is not as dangerous as the carbon monoxide, because the atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen.
Is carbon mono oxide useful?
Carbon monoxide is useful as a reducing agent, in extracting some metals from their ores. It is also used in some organic synthesis.
What are three gases that is harmful to humans?
carbon monoxide, chlorine, carbon dioxide under certain circumstances
What are some gases around us that are bad for humans?
Carbon monoxide is one
the ceatoon of carbon monoxide in an effect . what is one cause?
A. the regrouping of the atoms in table salt This is because carbon monoxide is extremely toxic for us humans. An example of this could be pollution.
What environmental problems are caused by coarbon monoxide?
Carbon-monoxide is produced due to oxidation during combustion. Carbon-monoxide affects humans very much. Increased absorption of this gas may even result in death.
How much carbon monoxide is in the air in percentage?
It depends how much traffic is about. Carbon monoxide is not a naturally-occurring molecule, & is only produced by engines; once it gets into the atmosphere, the carbon satisfies its valency by pairing up with any stray atoms it can find, preferably oxygen.
