Which breathing gas is dangerous?

Helium can be dangerous if inhaled in large quantities, as it can displace oxygen from the lungs and lead to oxygen deprivation. Similarly, breathing gases containing high levels of carbon dioxide or low levels of oxygen can be dangerous as they can cause asphyxiation. It is important to always use breathing gases in a controlled and safe manner.


How CO2 and CO is toxic?

CO2 (carbon dioxide) can probably choke you if you breathe it in, that's why you SHOULD NEVER ever put a bag around your head, you will only have a few breathes of oxygen, then you start to breathe in carbon dioxide. CO is very very dangerous. If you keep breathing it in, it can kill you. DO NOT run a generator, car, barbeque inside of your house, those can cause CO poisoning. With CO (carbon monoxide) breathing it in can poison your blood, heart, and stop the brain from functioning properly. You breathe in oxygen so you can give oxygen poor blood, oxygen, so it can turn into oxygen rich blood. If there is wrong information in here, you are welcome to correct it.
