What carbon monoxide does is bind to the heme group more tightly than oxygen does, crowding out the oxygen so that you effectively suffocate. The symptoms for low exposures are shortness of breath, mild headaches, and mild nausea. Somewhat higher exposures produce more severe headaches and nausea, dizziness, and light-headedness. Some people report a feeling of tightness in the chest as well. However, there are a lot of things that cause similar symptoms. It's hard to be certain without some form of CO monitor. Small personal monitors are available that are carried by people who might potentially be exposed to CO. See the related link section for more information.

∙ 12y agoWhen you breathe it in, you suffocate.
ADDED: Carbon monoxide binds with the hemoglobin in your blood cells more readily than oxygen. The cells in your body cannot use carbon monoxide for their biological processes, so they become poisoned. The body then quickly dies.

How much carbon monoxide is in the air?
It varies because it all depends on you and the volume (or space) in the room you are in. The symptoms will be visible in young children as they body's are smaller hence it takes less saturation to effect them or if you have a pet bird the bird will die or begin to fall of its perch. The symptoms are as follows light headedness, sleepy, head ache, dizziness, lethargy,feeling of vomiting and finding it hard to get up and move or disorientation. The problem is you can not see it or smell it and you feel sleepy and fall asleep and never wake up. 30,000ppm would be considered as a lethal dose and if you feel or suspect you have carbon monoxide in your house exit the house by the nearest exit and phone the emergency services intimidate and do not attempt to rescue a pet and if you have family who you can not wake open all windows and try and move them to a door or window that is open. My advice to every one is to get a static carbon monoxide detector and a smoke alarm with a carbon monoxide detector on it. THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE. Please don't mess around this gas it will kill you. Stay safe and take my advice I am a fireman and Ive seen my fair share of what this silent killer has done.
