Carbon Monoxide bonds preferentially with haemoglobin compared to oxygen. This means that the more Carbon Monoxide that you breathe in, the more oxygen is displaced in your blood, until you do not have enough oxygen to function properly. For this reason, Carbon Monoxide is referred to as an Agent of Anoxia.
