Yes.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) has one molecule of Oxygen less than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and hence, it will try to absorb oxygen from the surrounding air (where it is released) and get converted to CO2. This way it robs the surrounding air of Oxygen which in turn can suffocate people.
When inhaled too, CO has similar effects inside our lungs and hence it is more toxic than CO2

How does carbon dioxide behave like a toxic gas?
Carbon dioxide is not toxic but it is not a breathing gas, it is asphyxiant.
Why is the removal of carbon dioxide from living cells important?
The melting ice pack raises the sea level on a worldwide basis, and island nations (like England) shrink daily.
Is Carbon Dioxide Considered Bacteria?
No, Carbon Dioxide is a gas that is toxic to the human body because it attaches to your hemoglobin where oxygen would normally attach, therefore no oxygen reaches your cells and they begin to die. This is called Carboxyhemoglobin.
How water and carbon dioxide are removed from cells?
Carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration.
What type of blood cell takes carbon dioxide away?
Red blood cells take carbon dioxide (CO2) away from body tissues. The carbon dioxide is then transported to the lungs where it can be exhaled.
Is carbon dioxide is more toxic than carbon monoxide?
it bonds to the hemoglobin in red cells better than oxygen does.
Why is carbon monoxide more toxic than carbon dioxide?
it bonds to the hemoglobin in red cells better than oxygen does.
How does carbon dioxide behave like a toxic gas?
Carbon dioxide is not toxic but it is not a breathing gas, it is asphyxiant.
What waste of product of all cells?
NH3 Ammonia and CO2 carbon dioxide are both toxic metabolic products.
Can Chlorine Dioxide neutralize toxic chemicals?
No carbon dioxide
Why you breathe out carbon dioxide?
We breathe out carbon-dioxide because high levels of carbon-dioxide in the body can be toxic By Akhilesh Sharma
What is made when carbon burns in oxygen?

Is carbon dioxide good for humans?
Carbon dioxide is a very useful and largely used chemical; carbon dioxide is not toxic but also doesn't maintain the life.
Why is the removal of carbon dioxide from living cells important?
The melting ice pack raises the sea level on a worldwide basis, and island nations (like England) shrink daily.
Do cells use carbon dioxide?
No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Is Carbon Dioxide Considered Bacteria?
No, Carbon Dioxide is a gas that is toxic to the human body because it attaches to your hemoglobin where oxygen would normally attach, therefore no oxygen reaches your cells and they begin to die. This is called Carboxyhemoglobin.
What of these is a waste product of cells blood water oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide and water
